The excitement for 2022 golf in Michigan is growing. Golfers are finding their way back to the course and the first tournament, the Senior PGA Championship will be held at Harbor Shores at the end of the month. The Rocket Mortgage Classic, Meijer Classic, Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, Ally Challenge and three EPSON Tour events aren’t far behind. The pros will be making several trips to Michigan this summer. Plus, golfers from around the world will invade the wonderful Michigan golf resorts and courses. If you want tee times, you better not dally, tee sheets are filling up fast. Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes, BOYNE, Treetops, Gaylord Golf Mecca and the four great courses in the U.P., Sweetgrass, Sage Run, Timberstone and Grey Walls are just a few of the fantastic golfing opportunities around the state. The Publisher of Global Golf Post, Jim Nugent is suggesting that Greg Norman should be fired by the new Saudi-back LIV Investment Series Golf League, because he has not delivered on his promise to bring top name talent to that league. We add our take in this issue. MSU college senior, James Piot certainly had an interesting two months playing golf in Florida and Georgia. He won an amateur showcase and played alongside the biggest names in the game on the best golf course in the world, Augusta National. Michigan native and of the pioneers of women’s golf, Shirley Spork died at the age of 94 last month. She grew up in Detroit and was one of 13 founders of the LPGA, plus she convinced that organization to start a women’s teaching division. Shirley received her teaching degree from Eastern Michigan and that school annually hosts the Shirley Spork Invitational for collegiate golfers. Golf is better for having Ms. Spork involved in it for over 70 years. I got a tee time. Hope I see you on the Back 9.
