Michigan New Course Updates

[Central Scrutinizer]

I remember playing Fitzgerald Park when the baskets had bike cables instead of chains! I think I remember hearing that they were Grand Woods' original baskets?

There was one pin placement on a narrow strip of land within a pond. The water was deep, too. Lost a "Chains" Aviar P&A in it, circa 1996 or so. It just barely went in!

That makes sense, the one they pull out for the Ant Hill placement on 13 at 'Woods is definitely a "Fitz basket." I've heard a lot of stories about Old Fitz, but never that they had bike cable baskets. Crazy! That course has gone through a lot of changes over the years and deserves better equipment. If money wasn't a thing, there'd be 18 Vortexes out there!

Anyone know when Mt. McSauba, Avalanche Park, and Boyne Mountain pull their baskets?

What you end up doing?


{EDIT}

NVM. I see you hit up that Allendale course. I found that online somewhere and had to add it. Guess it's been around for a sec. You get anything else new around GR tho?

 

[apdrvya]

Putting into those bike cables was a royal bitch! (When I say "bike cables," I mean they were like those thick plastic-coated bike lock cables, only they seemed to be thicker.) Many times, you'd hit dead center, but the putter would just bounce straight out. To boot, you were deprived of the reinforcing "CHING!" sound...

I played Bertha Brock near Ionia this week while on vacation. Wow. Each hole felt like the best 12% Barley Wine I've ever had, and then I had to drink 18 of them at once.

When I think of a 5-star course, I'd like about 1/3 of the holes to be like those seen at Bertha Brock. Scattered about, too, not all at once. When Cass Benton first opened and hadn't been trashed by a--holes yet, that was the feeling I got there.

Well, if I see the scufflaw vandalizing the course in your name, I will be glad to give him "a stern talking to".
