[Craig Moore]

Welcome to the 2nd annual Summer Ball at the 36-hole Marquette Golf Club!  My co-host and friend Ben Cowan and I welcome you to the UP this summer!  It is a 2-day team competition with 36 played a day on Saturday and Sunday!  There are round options for Friday and Monday as well.  You do not need to be on GCA to play in this event, feel free to ask your friends. You need a handicap for the event

 The Marquette Golf Club was establish in 1926 with a Langford/Moreau 9-hole loop and was expanded to 18 holes in the 1960’s by David Gill.  A very high demand for golf at the club fueled another expansion in 2003 when Mike DeVries designed/built the Greywalls course.  Marquette is a fantastic city on the shores of Lake Superior in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; it has lots of natural beauty, culture and great food/beer options.

Marquette has a good sized airport for a small town and many flight options.  Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee are in the $250 round trip price range right now, with $400-500 for most good sized cities in the US.  Flights can go drastically up in the Spring.  Everything is real close to one another so renting a car really isn't needed.  The course will be happy to store your clubs and cabs to and from the airport and shuttles to the course should be a breeze.  I'm sure some will make the beautiful drive so help with shuttling will not be an issue.  We ask that you have a handicap to play.

how you golf in snow?

how you golf in snow?

You must have not gotten the memo. Golf is a noun.

[Ronald Montesano]

If that's the most ungrammatical thing you found, I'm well.


In the words of the greeter in Dead Solid Perfect, "I hope you golf your ball real good this week."

[Ronald Montesano]

In all sincerity, this looks like a wondrous event. Great golf, great Michigan, great people.

[Ron Smith]

I have it on the calendar and looking forward to seeing the courses.  I'm planning to add in a trip to Lawsonia before or after the event, I'd also be interested in car pool options if anyone is traveling from the Indy area.  Thanks for setting this up!

[Bob Montle]

Drat.   I can't make this or the BUDA.   
I'm responsible for inventory at my plant on the last weekend of every month.

Will be a great event - not sure of my schedule yet, so can't commit at this time, but always love to "go home" to Greywalls!

If you plan to play Lawsonia before the Summer Ball event Marc Gilmore (our PGA professional) and I might join you.  We were going down at some point this year and that time should work out well for us. 

[Jason Topp]

The timing does not work for me but it looks like a wonderful event.  Have fun!

Craig, that sounds wonderful.  We can work out the logistics closer to the event.

I'd love to see if Kenny G is as smooth with his golf swing as he is with the Sax!
