Hello All, Just wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for that contributes to this site as it has been a great resource for me over the past few years.
My name is Dustin Ferrell, originally from DeLand, FL, but have lived in the Ann Arbor, MI area for the past 7 years. 4 handicap, 30years old, married, 2 year old daughter and another baby on the way literally any time now. Started golfing in college after football career was over and absolutely fell for the game, which now extends to a love of course architecture and love for great golfing experiences.
I play my golf at Barton Hills CC in AA, a Donald Ross design and one of my favorite courses in SE Michigan. Over the past few years I've been very fortunate to get the opportunity to go on a few golf trips and experience some of the best courses in the country and has really sparked my interst in golf course design.
Not to boast, but my favorites that I've played thus far in no particular order would be:
Cypress Point Club
San Francisco GC
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Crystal Downs
Oakland Hills (South)
Chicago Golf
Pacific Dunes
Inverness Club
Kingsley Club
Bandon Dunes
There are tons more, but when I think about the kind of golf that really is so much more than just the golf, those come to mind.
Looking foward to some great golf course/golf discussions and hopefully increasing my knowledge of all the great golf we are lucky enough to play with like-minded individuals that clearly love the game as much as I do.
Dustin
