Between rounds of The Masters, take a break to tune into this
week's episode to hear about one of the most beautiful, as well as
toughest, golf courses in the Midwest.
Located in majestic Northern Michigan in the small town of Onaway
rests the UAW Black Lake Resort and Conference Center, a
sportsman's paradise and nature lover's dream. We
had the pleasure of sitting with my friend and Black Lake's Event
Sales Manager, Alissa and Mike, the resort's resident golf
pro. We get loosened up on a few craft brews available at the
lodge which includes Bell's Oberon and some ice cold
Leinenkugels. Mike details the magnificent golf course which
was designed by Rees Jones himself and soon after the storytelling
begins. Dougy Fresh gets a little nostalgic of growing up
just up the road in Cheboygan, Michigan, Mike tells a chilling
experience of falling through the ice, and we explain to Pat the
meaning of "toehead" and "two tracking".
If you're thinking of where to take the family on vacation this
summer where you can take in a bit of nature, plan a wedding
or a reunion, tune in to hear about this amazing facility nestled
in a thousand acres of high wooded land and evergreen terrain of
the shores of Black Lake.
Dougy Fresh and Alissa had some old
friends(Kurt Derhammer & Alex Chasse's pop, Bob) join for
the last 20 minutes of the show to toast with a few shots of whisky
and reminisce.
Cheers!
