Long Sunny Days Make the BEST Golf in Michigan FRED ALTVATER PUBLISHER Back 9 Media Group Also Publishes: Ohio Golf Journal Indiana Golf Journal Back 9 Report The long sunny days with pleasant temperatures in Michigan have golfers flocking to our state. Just as we snowbirds head south in the winter, golfers stuck in the hot muggy southern areas of the country head north to enjoy cooler temperatures and our fantastic golf courses. The airports in Traverse City, Grand Rapids and Detroit daily welcome thousands of golfers that will walk Michigan fairways throughout the summer months. Leona Maguire won the LPGA Meijer Classic last month and contended the next week at the KPMG Women’s PGA. Meijer and Grand Rapids are to be commended for once again bringing the best women golfers to southwest Michigan. Also in June, GAM held several amateur championships. We congratulate all the participants. We highlight the winners in this month’s feature article. Phyllis Barone tells us why The Gaylord Golf Mecca has been providing the best golf for travelers for many years and Len Ziehm breaks down some of the golf around Daytona Beach. This issue has pieces on the fantastic vineyards in the Traverse City area, as well as an update on a rules situation. We hope you enjoy the July issue of Michigan Golf Journal and we look forward to seeing you on the Back 9. Michigan Golf Journal
