Skiing takes the Place of Golf, in Michigan, During the Winter FRED ALTVATER PUBLISHER Back 9 Media Group Also Publishes: Ohio Golf Journal Indiana Golf Journal Back 9 Report Everyone can agree that Michigan is the place to be for golf in the summer, but in the winter months the focus turns to skiing at several resorts that cater to both skiers and golfers. BOYNE boasts one of the largest ski areas in the Midwest. Treetops offers exciting runs, plus snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Caberfae is one on the oldest ski resorts in the country, plus Schuss Mountain, Snow Snake, Pine Mountain and The Homestead welcome skiers, when their courses are covered in the white fluffy stuff. As we are starting to see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, Joy Sarver treats us to a few pictures she snapped from her travels in 2020 and 2021. The ominous shot of fans lounging around the 17th Island Green at TPC Sawgrass, before the PGA TOUR halted competition at the 2020 PLAYERS Championship, contrasts with the throngs of golf fans that lined the 18th fairway at Whistling Straits 18 months later, for the 2021 Ryder Cup. Every year the Evans Scholarship program awards full tuition, plus room and board to worthy caddies. This is one of the best charities in golf and deserves your support. The stories these former caddies tell during their oral interviews are outstanding. It is plain to see that the future of the nation should be in good hands.

Thanks to Gleneagles Country Club, in Delray Beach and Harbour Ridge in Palm City, for allowing us to visit their magnificent courses. Although Michigan Golf Courses are still covered with snow, we hope we see you on the Back 9 of a golf course somewhere warm. Fred Altvater Publisher Michigan Golf Journal
