    Michigan New Course Updates

    Kiwanis Outdoor Center in Battle Creek put in signs for all holes and pads for the short layout this year. Looking at doing longs next year but I am a bit skeptical we will get all 18 in - that was a pretty intense job!

    He is definitely an amazing guy! The area is sooo much better for having him. I really appreciate how he has been a constant over the years - helps like crazy to establish things.

    Sort of in limbo I think. Volunteer core has been pretty stretched in the area. Leagues getting chased out sort of deprioritized things I think. That said, the park does sound like they want to improve/maintain the park. As usual, just need more folks to step up. Seems like everything is...

    Oof, I feel this comment in my bones! Almost done putting in a course into semi-raw forest (there are trails at least) and the amount of work required is incredible. The frustrating thing is I could kind of sort of get volunteers initially for a few hours in the beginning. Thing is it takes...
