===== JULY ===== "In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light.

In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day?"

- Robert Louis Stevenson, Bed in Summer

Manitou Passage

=========================================== BOB KURAS & MANITOU PASSAGE: By Jack Berry =========================================== Homestead Resort owner Bob Kuras finally has what he wanted in the nearly 30 years since he bought “America's Freshwater Resort” -- an 18 hole golf course.

“We kind of put it on the back burner,” Kuras said of closing a 15-year battle in 2001 to build a course by the Crystal River that flows into Lake Michigan from the Homestead.

A “happy convergence” of events has resulted in Manitou Passage Golf Club, a name that is, to borrow a phrase, Pure Michigan. And the name came last fall when Kuras's son, Jamie, was up on the eighth tee, the highest point of the property, and the leaves were down.

“He came in and said 'Dad, I think there's a view of the water from the eighth tee,'” Kuras said. “I didn't believe him but I've had to eat humble pie.”

With the trees bare of leaves, the Manitou Passage appeared, the Lake Michigan channel between North Manitou Island and Pyramid Point of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

And with that, the Arnold Palmer-designed King's Challenge Golf Club, which opened in 1998, became Manitou Passage Golf Club. The logo features the tall dune of the island, the water, and Shoal Point lighthouse.

Kuras's “happy convergence” started when King's Challenge was for sale. It's 10 miles from the Homestead, just off scenic M-22 in Leelanau County and on the backside of the Sugar Loaf ski area that closed 10 years ago.

Kuras said a small number of friends, “all good players, guys who wanted to get involved and see a course that would help Leelanau County,” joined in to buy the course in May, 2009, not needing or looking for an immediate return on the investment.

Kuras is the leader and he is a hands-on leader in the tradition of Northern Michigan's granddaddy of resort development, the late Everett Kircher of Boyne USA. He ordered a bigger directional sign at M72 and Maple City Rd., the main route out from Traverse City. He looked at many Web sites before designing the site for the Homestead and Manitou Passage.

The course was a good one but it was a jewel that needed some cutting and polishing. Now it's a knockout. Eric Wiltse, whose father, Ray, was Palmer's chief of design when the course was built, came up from Florida and bunkers were reworked, some reduced, others moved closer to greens. Trees were cut and some were added. Drainage was improved in two troublesome wet spots. A dangerous downhill cart path on the eighth hole was rerouted.

Kuras ordered a fifth set of tees, gold, and made the five sets of tees on every hole equilateral. “I wanted something distinctive, different from the way they were and from our competitors. They set up the shot very well, tell you where you should be going,” Kuras said, and it has resulted in a clean, crisp look.

The gold tees measure 4,761 yards and basically are senior tees. The red tees are 4,733 yards. The other tees are black, 6,724, blue 6,284 and white 5,809.

Moving and squaring all the tees was a major job and one of Kuras's partners is Brent Wadsworth who built the largest golf course construction company in the world. Wadsworth has built more than 800 courses and worked for the top designers.

“Brent bought a condo in the Homestead in 1972 and he and his wife have been good friends since.

He's also built a house on Little Traverse Lake so I can drive two miles and get his advice,” Kuras said.

The course was the only thing that needed cutting and polishing. The clubhouse, stone and cedar shake roof, has been upgraded, there are pictures of Palmer throughout, a copy of his fourth round scorecard when he won the U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, pictures of his four Masters Tournament victories, a letter signed with the initials D.D.E., as in Dwight David Eisenhower, a Palmer neighbor in Pennsylvania after Eisenhower left the White House. Arnie's Grill is another upgrade.

All the landscaping has been improved, from the entrance in, accent on flowers, a neat patio with tables overlooking the water-guarded 18th green – and the hole has been lengthened to a par five which is a hit with Logan Price, the long-driving golf professional who can go for it in two. “If you don't make it, you get heckled,” he said, laughing.

Kuras also had a cart area built but it isn't a typical “cart barn.” It's open on all four sides with a cedar shake roof and can be turned into a pavilion for parties and outings.

Kuras's hands-on approach extends to the way visitors are treated. He said he and his son visited five upscale courses around the country in the spring and he came back disappointed with the lack of personal touch.

“Only two of them had bag attendants when we drove in. No one said 'Welcome' or 'Thanks for coming' or 'How did you like it?' when we paid or when we left.”

That isn't likely to happen at Manitou Passage, another polished jewel for Northern Michigan. =============================================================================== HEBERT RALLIES AT PGA PROFESSIONAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TO WIN A SPOT AT THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP =============================================================================== Scott Hebert, Golf Professional at Grand Traverse Resort and past winner of the PGA Professional National Championship, birdied two of the final three holes after three straight bogeys at 13-15, to finish at three over, the cut line for the 20 spots available for the PGA Championship. Hebert and the field of PGA professionals, shared the spotlight with Pete Dye and his new and spectacular French Lick golf course, http://www.pga.com/nationalchampionship/2010/scoring/scorecards/index.cfm?id=23477 =================================================== GARBER WINS 99TH MICHIGAN AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP =================================================== Surrounded by a near-record crowd of family, friends and club members, 18-year old Joey Garber of Petoskey won the 99th Michigan Amateur Championship at Oakhurst Golf & Country Club, 2 & 1 over Eric Lilleboe of Okemos.

Garber took control of the match right out of the gate by winning the first three holes.

“It’s all about getting into the moment and getting the lead,” said Garber. “He’s (Lilleboe) a good player and he played everyone really well this week. “My caddie (Jimmy Dewling) and I had a game plan before I teed off on the final match to turn at all square and then start my push on the back. I’ve played holes 10 through 18 really well this week. I knew those holes had to be where I took the lead.”

It didn’t go exactly how Garber had planned, because Lilleboe won three holes in a row to go 1 up after 9 and kept the lead until hole #12 when Garber won the hole to bring the match back to all square. Garber proceeded to win hole #13 with a par while Lilleboe bogied it. It was a seesaw match until Garber went 2 up on hole #16 and he held onto the lead on #17 to win the final match 2 &1.

“He deserved to win,” said runner-up Lilleboe. “We’re friends, we’ve played together a lot up north and he’s a really good player. I just finished up my senior year at Ferris State University and my last amateur tournament will be the U.S. Amateur Qualifier at Boyne – The Heather Course on July 22 before turning professional this fall."

Garber has won four GAM Championships in the last four years.

“In 2008, I won the GAM Tournament of Club Champions and I won the Michigan Junior Amateur Stroke Play Championship in 2008 and 2009. I really wanted to win this championship; it’s the most important tournament in the state.”

Garber is also the third youngest player ever to win the Michigan Amateur Championship. The second famous amateur ever to live, Chuck Kocsis won it in 1930 at the age of 17 and Korey Morhoney won it after just turning 18 in 2002.

Next up for Garber is playing golf for the the University of Michigan. Garber said this about his wolverine friend Matt Thompson, "I'm excited to play with my good friend Matt Thompson and thankfully, I didn't have to play him in match play this week because he's a very strong player.

By winning the Michigan Amateur, Garber receives an automatic five-year exemption into the Michigan Amateur Championship, as well as The Western Amateur, Susquehana Amateur in Pennsylvania, the Michigan Open and the GAM Championship.

Eric Lilleboe, 2&1 Taken and edited from a Tonia Branch GAM release =================== FRENCH LICK REDUX =================== How has the 43rd PGA Professional National Championship, which concludes Wednesday, benefited the host French Lick community?

"We have seen another spring in the step of so many volunteers who have longed to support this event and bring the attention of the golf world to Indiana," said Steve Ferguson, chairman of the board of Cook Group, the owners of the French Lick Resort.

"It is great that we can show The PGA of America that we can recruit 750 volunteers, some from around the country, to be here and support this Championship. The people are proud of their roles and proud to have this Championship here. We want this Championship to come back."

PGA Professional Dave Harner, the director of golf operations for French Lick Resort, said that once the Championship began, he and members of his staff had a big burden taken off their collective shoulders.

"You find yourself the most drained, the most over-extended, most frustrated person that has ever lived, and once the first ball is in the air you are feeling the next minute how it all was worth it," said Harner. "You are completely spent, but you realize when you pick yourself back up that this has been a tremendous experience and opportunity.

"I venture to guess that any big event, and the staff behind it, goes through the same feelings. We are happy and proud that this Championship has gone so well."

Mike DeAgostino release ==================== BROOKWOOD REDUX ==================== Art, It was with some great personal pride that I read your update on Brookwood Golf Club. Great track in it's day and glad to hear people still care enough about the course to work and raise funds towards improving it. The course always inspired those who played it. Brookwood hosted two Michigan Open's in the 60's won by Michigan Golf Hall of Famer, Gene Bone. Also produced two Michigan Amateur Champions, Bill Barclay 1939, Fred Turner, 1952. It had many Genesee County Champions, Flint Amateur Champions, Flint Junior Golf Champions and has been a fixture in Flint golf for years.

Two small corrections, Brookwood was built in early 1933 or 1934 as legend has it. Joe Szilagyi was part of a group who bought the course (formerly known as Glendale Golf Club) in early 1936, Joe ultimately became the sole owner in 1938 until late 1963 when he sold it to IMA. They originally changed the name due to the Kearsley Creek that runs through it and the many beautiful trees mentioned in Jenny's piece on Brookwood. Joe's son Bob, went on to run another couple of successful courses named Salem Hills Golf Club and Godwin Glen Golf Club with Horace Godwin for many years after.

In the immortal words of Paul Harvey..."and now you know, the rest of the story."

Best regards, JS Jim Szilagyi Proud Grandson Thanks and a Tip of the Tam to Jim Szilagyi for this historical backgrounder. ====================================================================== WAYNE GRETZKY CLASSIC A SHORT DRIVE TO SEE THE GREAT ONE UP CLOSE ====================================================================== The Collingwood/Thornbury golf community, will once again host the celebrity golf tournament this summer from July 5-11.

Northwood University golfer Matt Ostby shot a 222, one stroke short of catching Petrich. John Whiting came in third with a 223 and Andrew Jared and Vince Hamo tied for fourth at 225.

A playoff in the Senior Division made for a spectacular finish when Larry Hogard erased a six-stroke deficit to force a sudden death playoff with Jeff Barnes beating Barnes on the first playoff hole.

Hogard shot a one-under 71 to finish at 5-over 221 tied with the second-round leader Barnes. Matt Wiley was third in the senior division after shooting 73 to finish at 225 and Steve Presser shot a 76 to finish fourth at 229.

The low score of the tournament was Billy Teer’s 2-under 70 in the final round of the open division.

“This tournament offered area golfers a first class event” said Chris Allard, Golf Course Manager at IMA Brookwood Golf & Banquet Center. “Our grounds crew did a fantastic job getting the golf course ready for this event and our programs committee headed by Jack Brown did a great job helping us organize the event” added Allard.

Taken from IMA Brookwood release ================================== MCCAFFERTY AND MOORE MUSINGS ================================== We have given Dr. Minzey a week off from his column. He said we either had to do that or pay him.

Sorry, Jack. In his column space this week, we are going to the vault to bring to you some lines that Terry Moore and I submitted to Golf Magazine in 1978. We had published a book during that time, called "The Front Nine and Back Nine", a worst seller at the time. However, it was a precursor to the launch of the Michigan Golfer in 1983.

These lines appeared in Oscar Fraley's Column in the 1978 May issue of Golf Magazine.

"Art McCafferty of Ypsilanti and Terry Moore of Grand Rapids, pass along these definitions, which may hand you a chuckle: Adieu, the reason for moisure on the morning greens; archangel, a great wedge; chipmunk, a priest with a great short game, dimpled, the face of a golf ball before it breaks into a smile; deuce, a golf term never used in Italy; goldenrod, Jack Nicklaus' driver; johnny on the spot, tournament relief stations; and lengthwise, player who makes the right club decision.

My favorite of your definitions fellers, is 'hitting fat', meaning when your drive hits a dissident member of weight watchers.."

========================================================== MARSH RIDGE RESORT HAS ALL THE HOLIDAY BASES COVERED ========================================================== Larry Bowdem, CEO of Marsh Ridge Resort, seems to have all of the holidays covered in his marketing.
