Flew into traverse and had enough time to get a round in at the chief. Ughh, have to buy more golf balls.

Where is the Chief? Never heard of it.

I'm killing it by the way.

by **duffy munn** Sat 30 Aug 2014 - 23:43

I hate the Chief.

by **InTenSity** Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 0:09

The chief is across from shanty.

I hate my clubs more than I hate the chief.

You take the family up there with you?

I would like to meet you up there to play golf and leave my family here. Let me know if I can do this.

by **InTenSity** Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 10:10

My family is here. My dad and I go golfing. We can use a third if you want to come up here. Tomorrow afternoon probably legend or cedar river and Tuesday Sundance.

You might want to check the weather before doing anything.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Sun 31 Aug 2014 - 11:45

I was just kidding, man. But seriously wish I could. It wouldn't play very well with the wife.

Mostly cloudy here in Central Lake and supposed to stay dry today. Thinking about heading up to Charlevoix to play Belvedere.

Hawks eye today.

MSU is playing Forest Dunes this weekend for qualifiers.
Played 18 holes with 2 of the juniors.
Tough morning for scoring. Windy, drizzle, inconsistent greens due to the amount of rain the last 48 hours.
One of the kids shot 70, a few at par.

Heading to turtle creek for some black Jack and Roulette.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Mon 1 Sep 2014 - 22:53

Ask them if they remember the motley crew that got thrown out of the joint a few weeks back.

by **InTenSity** Tue 2 Sep 2014 - 21:24

Went to Sundance today. 2 birdies, 9 and 17. Course was wet, but fun, packed for a Tuesday, took 4.5 hours.

Wow! AC looks awesome.

I keep looking at these pictures and wonder why we always play a new course every year for our guys trip. With kids my age I pretty much only get up there with the ability to golf once a year (during WhiteBoyHatcherapalooza). Should just play Arcadia every year. I want to play Forest Dunes once and then maybe it's Arcadia every year, if I have my say.

Maybe one year our trip will coincide with yours and we can hook up for a round. If you don't mind playing with a bunch of idiots who generally care more about drinking beer/bourbon and taking in the scenery than scoring well, that is.

by **InTenSity** Wed 3 Sep 2014 - 23:46

Wbh. Northern golf courses are some of the best in the world, imo. I don't give a shit about my score, haven't looked all week, guessing anywhere from 85 to 105.

I get to pay stupidly expensive shitty Florida courses. I just enjoy a good course. And drinking bourbon.

Love me some Dock Side. Tell Gordie I said hi.

God dammit. 4 weeks have passed since our fake bachelor weekend up there and I can't wait to go back next year already. Thanks a lot, Obama. Where is Girbaud?

Play em all Whiteboy.

Too many great tracks to limit yourself.

Next year I'm hoping to do two weeks and hit up the Oregon game. You said you're in the Tampa area, I can get tree times up there, come to Naples, I'll try to get tee times at tiburan. Our however the he'll that place is settled.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 0:06

I'm probably gonna be down in Tampa within the next 3 weeks or so. My boss is bugging me to get down there, and I have to do a good faith showing. I don't really have much free time, though. I try to get in and out as fast as ****ing possible. As stressful as day to day life is here, it genuinely makes me sad to leave my wife and kids, especially for work.

by **InTenSity** Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 0:13

I need fall time to go to those area.

I don't travel without t wife and kids.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 0:16

I don't know what you just typed but I'll holla when I'm heading down. Will likely have a team dinner one night and hopefully will be able to get the hell out of town the 2nd night.

by **InTenSity** Thu 4 Aug 2016 - 23:44

I'll be on hawks eye Sunday. Sundance Monday, not sure Tuesday, legend Wednesday, gotta book cedar river for Friday.
Pics to follow.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Thu 4 Aug 2016 - 23:47

InTen, I'm going up tomorrow but coming home Sat night. No room at the doggy day care for my hose beast so I had to cobble together some dog sitters. No time for golf, taking the fam to the beach or the dunes or some shit like that. Looks like I'll miss you this year. :(

by **InTenSity** Thu 4 Aug 2016 - 23:55

We have neighbor friends coming up. My buddies wife is freaking out about how much good we're doing. Might try to meet up with tTy, time permitting.

I played the stupid Chief two weeks ago. Beautiful piece of land but the worst design in the world.

I'm ok at golf ( about a 10 handicap). I lost 14 golf balls. 14 !! Now a few of them were my own doing but come on. Miss a green by a foot, lost ball. Miss a fairway by 2 yards, lost ball. You can see the green from the tee on 4 holes. ( not counting par threes)

The par 5 third hole is the dumbest hole on the planet. 470 yards. I hit a good drive in the fairway, around 245. Hit a good four iron in the fairway, around 185. So I've hit the ball 430 yards on a 470 yard hole. In the fairway. I can't see the green for my third shot.

I played for free and would not go back. Hell, you couldn't pay me to play it again.

Muffy that doesn't sound right. I hit my drives about 270 and hit my four irons 185 to 190. I'm older than you. Your drives have got to be longer as your club head speed sounds to be about the same as mine given the equality of the four iron distance. You should have hit four wood in. That's your 210 to 215 club,no?

That kind of course is not fun to play. Hell you can spray the ball at bay hill and still recover and make par.

Go play vineyards in Naples. I think you can hit it backwards and still shoot part.

Got a Sunday tee time for cedar river, we'll play hawks eye later in the week.
Just got the notification to check in for our flight. Can't wait.

I'm going to play some golf this weekend.. I'll head Up North in my SUV this afternoon with my carbon-fiber golf clubs in tow.. a cooler full of Michelob Ultra in the back... I think my lovely, non-threatening family will come along and I really hope they want to bring along Jake, our golden lab. It could be the perfect weekend to take our family Christmas card photo.

I'll have to run by Baryames first to get my linen trousers and my favorite Dri-Fit golf shirts.. then we're Up North bound. The 'up north' golf thread 969504605

Both Cedar River and Hawks Eye are great tracks. Shorts for a few beers after. I'm jelly.

Have you ever actually been Up North Bob ? If so, where did you go and why do you hate it ?

Yup. The cottages are on Torch, about a mile north of Dockside.

Bob hates everything about Michigan, except the winters.
