Good to know! Long story but they messed up our reservation, so we got the Mackenzie for the price of the smaller 12 person cottage. Later on we lost two guys so now we're rolling with 10.

Hemlock is awesome. There are some unique holes due to the sand formations on the property. We're staying in the Mackenzie cottage. The pics look nice, but I have no idea what the layout is like.

My golf trip starts today...kinda. My buddies fly in from Phoenix this afternoon and we play a warm-up round on Sharf, then our group of 10 heads up to Ludington/Manistee tomorrow morning. Thurs: Hemlock Fri am: Retreat Fri pm: Revenge Sat am: Retreat Sat pm: par 3 course Weather is looking amazing; low 70's and sunny!

A pretty sweet beer fridge

I guess I'm player 1, although my driver ss is only 106-108. Driver is my favorite club in the bag, but I freaking love the Mini vs a 3 wood. I can randomly chunk or top a 3 wood, but the Mini I can tee higher and just sweep it like a driver. It also comes out super low and and chasing vs the driver which launches quite high. 5 wood is so much easier to hit off the deck than a 3 wood, and I can only think of 3-5 times a year that I'm at a yardage where I'm missing 3-wood on a potentially reachable par 5.

Driver, mini driver, strong 5 wood is a fantastic combo

His content is way better when Carol is there...

About 1.5" and a couple balls inside my front foot. For reference, I play driver off my front big toe.

83 yard hole-out for eagle yesterday on #13 at Sharf. What's crazy is I haven't had a hole out or even a greenside chip-in in probably a year, and now I've done it three times in the last two weeks.

I can't make any money on Scottie and therefore I hate him...until the Ryder Cup

I bet on Fitzpatrick so we can pretty much guarantee he won't win 😅

Treetops courses are more "up north" style golf and therefore more memorable. Garland had better lodging and atmosphere.

Played American Dunes over the weekend. Wow what a cool place! IMG_20250713_163833.heic
