Gentleman, round one is in the books and round two is only a cold winter away.
Last year the Midwest Mashie kicked off its inaugural event at Lost Dunes with the West Team pounding (well almost) Tom Doak’s East Team. It was a great weekend; one that we will hopefully be able to replicate annually from here on out.
This year the plan is to head to the opposite side of Lake Michigan to Green Lake, WI, home of The Golf Course(s) at Lawsonia (I put the parenthesis around the “s” in courses because we will only be spending time on the famed Links Course).
Of course, we will be playing for the hickory shaft mashie which serves as our trophy and is currently sitting in my living room (thanks to Sean Arble for donating it!).
The plan is as follows:
Where: The Golf Courses at Lawsonia - Green Lake, WI
When: May 21-22nd
Golf: 1st round Saturday May 21st (starting at 1:20 pm) - Best Ball teams
2nd round Sunday May 22nd (starting at 7:00 am) - Alternate Shot or Singles
**both rounds on the Links Course (Langford/Moreau)**Dinner: Saturday evening in the Lawsonia club house
Lodging Options: - The Heidel House
- The Green Lake Inn
- The Barn at Skunk Hollow
- The Bayview
Cost: $117 per man - this includes two rounds of golf and dinner. It does
not include lodging. Also, the replay rate will be $20. You can either walk or ride - it doesn’t have an impact on price.
We're looking at around 40 guys this year, give or take. I’ll start the sign-up process now, so just let me know if you would like to join (please be relatively certain you can make it).

Special thanks to Pat Craig for his help setting the event up.
Should be a fun event. I’m looking forward to it!
Cheers,
