Including a silent and live auction, this event raised nearly $1.6 million for BJ’s Charitable Foundation.

I got the chance to play with the Alro Steel team of  Randy & Rhonda Glick and Brian & Carrie Glick. Although we did not win the top prize, I would say we all had highlights! All 4 of my teammates had some bomber drives, putting us in some extremely favorable spots! If only we could putt as well as we could drive it, oh well, it was a great time together, I hope we get the chance to be partners again – I had a fun day with the Glicks!

We had a great time at the CC of Jackson, and missed seeing Randy’s Dad Al Glick there to cheer us on. Al, founder of Alro Steel, was in Ann Arbor attending the first day of official practice for the University of Michigan Wolverine football team. In fact, the Michigan’s brand new indoor practice football facility is named the AL GLICK FIELD HOUSE – Al and the entire Glick family have been longtime supporters of Michigan Athletics and in July, the Board of Regents made this designation to recognize a lifetime of dedication to the Maize and Blue! Read about this beautiful state of the art facility.

Thanks to my family and University Park Members for coming to Jackson and watching my 74 – T-11 finish in the Wendy’s Charity Challenge. Tomorrow is the pro-am, I will play with the two Glick families – Sponsored by Alro Steel. The pro-am dinner and silent/live auction had the theme “Northern Exposure”, so as you can see in the photo, some of us dressed the part!

We are staying one more night, and had time to ride the chairlift and view the Crystal Mountain property from a skiers point of view.

And before they teed off, I had a photo taken on the first tee with Byron Center’s Jacqueline DeBoer (GR South Christian HS) and Legends Tour Champion Cindy Rarick. (I played 1 hour later).

Finally, had dinner with Nebraska native Jenny Hansen, in Michigan for the first time, and we enjoyed catching up on her summer pro events.

Coincidentally, at the base of the Coaster, Sue ran into former Spartan Carrie Wheeler and her daughter Juliana! Small world!

Doug Foster and his wife Diane (our caddy for the weekend), Judy Leto, Val Brennan, Jim Leto and Sue Ertl at the Crystal Mountain Pro-Am cocktail party.

We had a great time at Crystal Mountain during our 2nd day of the pro-am scramble. Our 14 under par  included one eagle on #10 of the Betsie Valley course. Val and Doug drove the ball great, while Jim, Judy and I were needed for the short irons and scoring shots. Just a fun kickoff for the 3 day Michigan Women’s Open starting tomorrow.

Friends to watch are high schoolers Alexandra Lipa (a student of mine who won the MHSAA State Championship from Birmingham Seaholm) on her way this fall to Yale, Jacqueline DeBoer from Byron Center, and Melissa Beurmann from Jackson. You can also follow Legends Tour pros Cindy Figg-Currier, Cindy Rarick, and Crystal Mountain’s host pro Elaine Crosby. Michigan State’s Coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll is competing with several of her players, as well as former Spartans Joan Garety, Stacy Olson, and current LPGA Tour player Allison Fouch. The field of 109 is the largest ever for the Michigan Women’s Open. I look forward to having my fan club from Grand Rapids and Ionia come to watch!

A year ago at Bear Trace, first round, #7, I hit an 8 iron into the hole for eagle (downhill – 142 yards). Woo Hoo!

And today, one year later, at Stonehenge, first round, #7, I hit a 9-wood into the hole for eagle (uphill – 165 yards). Woo Hoo again.

Check out the scores!

Sue, Don Alexander, Tommy Hale, and Tony Cox

Today I played with the nicest team at Fairfield Glade – Tony Cox, Tommy Hale, and Don Alexander. They sure could drive the ball well and they each contributed approach shots and putts toward their scramble score of 64! Our team won beautiful Callaway carry bags with the city of Crossville logo emblazoned on the side as well as the back side ball pocket! We all wish our teammate Tony Cox good luck in the Greater Knoxville City Amateur as he competes the next 4 days on 4 different courses.

I never know who we will meet at the course, and today we had the chance meeting of University Park CC Member Barb Inbody’s sister Zibby Damm. Small world as we had met her friend the day prior walking her dog at the golf course. So today, who walks up but Zibby! So hello to Barb Inbody from your sister VIA Sue E. What a nice sister you have! Amazing!

Stonehenge GC hole #14

This Stonehenge course is Tennessee’s #1 ranked resort course designed by Joe Lee. Its tough design includes many sidehill lies, rollling terrain, and one very extremely memorable hole #14. It is a par-3 hole, only 148 yards, but drops off from tee to green I would say 100 feet. Not only is the landing area treacherous (hazard left, bunker right, a river behind it), the winding drive down the hill is a test to all driving skills! I would say the only other times I have played a similar major dropoff were #15 at the Palms Golf Club in the Mesquite, NV area (114 foot drop) and Green Mountain National GC in Killington, VT holes#2 and #7.

Fairfield Glade is a large golf community in higher elevation, where homeowners are members of the 5 golf courses, paying a small annual fee as well as cart fee at any of the championship courses. We have rented a beautiful townhome on a lake here in the community for the week, and the commute is 3 minutes rather than the 20 down the hill to the hotels.
