Golf 2022

A-Ga Ming.   On the isthmus between Lake Michigan and Torch Lake, between Elk Rapids and Charlevoix.    I will give the caveat that it isn't life changing golf courses.    Generic Northern Michigan golf.  We did not play Charlevoix country club, which is beautiful, but 25 miles north of the lodging.   Sundance is hilly inland links.  Antrim Dells had gone to seed and is being slowly brought back.  Torch is hilly, tight, with great views.

Do we know if LIV has any broadcast deals?

I think YouTube is carrying it

Thanks. Might be a little too north for a group driving from Chicago, but I'll look into it. We played Tullymore and St. Ives a year or so before my wife and I moved to Charlotte and really liked it.

We're a bunch of hacks ... but we're fun hacks!

I have played A-Ga Ming many times. Great views and a very enjoyable  with nice staff. Beautiful area that the course is situated in.

Yes.  Magnificent views of Torch lake and Lake Michigan/Grand Traverse bay.

MU82, a Michigan resort that is a shorter drive from Chicago with multiple courses is Gull Lake View.  I highly recommend Stoatin Brae.

OK, Wags. I still don't believe the masses are gathering in front of their TVs on a non-major golf weekend to watch Dustin Johnson, but maybe I'm missing something. Have a good one.

Eye watch ta cee watt Paulina has orr duzant have on, hey?

Will be interesting to see if the Tour decides to release DJ's disciplinary report if lawsuits fly.

2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama was disqualified from the Memorial on Thursday after officials deemed his 3-wood illegal because it had small paint strips on the face to help with alignment. Had he used permanent marker, it would have been OK. The PGA tour official who made the ruling said afterward that an unnamed source sent his staff a photo of the markings. Snitch!

The PGA allowing TV viewers to call in infractions and/or rules violations is one of the stupidest things they've ever done.

It wasn't a call-in.  It was actually posted on Twitter and someone on the course alerted the tour

Considering Koepka only gets motivated for majors. and LIV golf doesn't have majors...

But it is an ever changing world in which we live, so who knows?

Good luck to Danielle Kang.

Good luck to Danielle Kang.   

Didn't know about this until you posted.  Terrible news. 

[tower912]

The first year the LPGA held an event here, my schedule worked out and I was able to be a marshal at the tournament.   Ms. Kang walked off the green and loosed an impressive string of obscenities lamenting her poor putting.   I have been a fan ever since.

A friend of mine knew her at Pepperdine.  Saw her at a tourney a few years ago after 18 and said something like "Nice round Danielle!".  She sort of looks up and goes "nah, I played like a f-ing joke.  What the f*** was I doing"...then goes "But thanks Grant, really great to see you!" and they talked for a minute.  She's great.

Kevin Ma resigns from PGA Tour to play LIV. He must have got some meaningful coin to take that kind of drastic action. Says he is doing it to avoid litigation .

Are we allowed to say that there aren't a dozen people who tune in to see Kevin Ma?

The money is better than the Majors. So...

I suspect one of Justice Kegan's clerks.

So we know Kevin Na's character is trash

We have known that since 2017 US Open practice rounds.
