    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.

    It is possible Kzoo has some bench left for volunteers - I may have spoken out of turn there. I just know Larry has been busy enough that he triages a bit. Battle Creek is definitely stretched. Volunteers show up, but we could use two-three times attendance rates. Lots of guys say they will...

    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...

    Basket Security - Best tips n tricks?

    Vibrates like hell. Things that vibrate don't cut easy - it moves instead of tears. Also noisy.

    Kiwanis Outdoor Center in Battle Creek received its baskets this week! 5 holes left to clear and concrete pads to be laid still. Debating on installing the baskets asap and opening the course possibly as early as late July/Early August or waiting until we lay pads and refine things a bit and...

    Sneak Peak event at Kiwanis Outdoor Center in Battle Creek. Got the first 12 holes cut in and playable, long and short! Saturday the 27th from 9-5. If you don't make it out tomorrow the course should be open late summer/early fall. Rumor is baskets are in country so hopefully can start...

    Kiwanis Outdoor Center in Battle Creek has the front 9 cut in. Back 9 work will commence shortly. If we keep pace, course should be up and running by July. We will be hosting a preview event May 27th with temp baskets for the first 9 long and putter layouts. Can't really complain with how...

    The Battle Creek Kiwanis have approved the installation of an 18 hole course at their outdoor education center. It will be just south of 94 near exit 97, 10 minutes or so east of Coldbrook. It's a beautiful piece of property that is rife with mature woods, Minges Creek, moderate elevation...

    Of course it does! That said, I can't think of an area that couldn't use more courses as a rule. The more the better! :D

    2 is open for the first 200' or so, but then it goes left up the hill into the woods. It's extremely difficult to thread a shot up there for a bird. It's usually a bogie hole because of how challenging it is to land the first drive for a good approach - you go left or right and you have no...

    At Leila? There's one open bomber hole off a hill. The one after that looks open but has a nasty ceiling - think it's meant to be a roller hole. I guess 4 is kind of open but it's hard to hit a spot for a 2nd drive worth a darn. 15 is open as well I suppose. Trust me, it's nasty.

    Leila Arboretum in Battle Creek is a beating. Not sure I have ever played a more difficult course.

    Michigan New Course Updates

    Kimball Pines near Battle Creek has had its back 9 installed and is now once again an 18 hole course. Please note that the back 9 is still rough and things like signage, tee pad repair for 14, and general brush removal are ongoing. Should look dang good by the end of summer, but it is very...

    Distance Driver you use most ON the course?

    Straight up distance on the course? Heat, River, or Escape depending on the wind. Heat for straight shots, River for a right finish, Escape for a left. Sometimes an Avenger SS - I have a couple and most often they competed with the Heat. I found one that has been...seasoning...in the bottom...

    When to move on from a disc?

    This really describes my philosophy as well. Almost exactly, actually. If a disc has multiple catastrophic throws and I can't rely on it, I will often pull it and try something else to see if it improves. I've been adding and pulling understable mids for years trying to find the one that...
