Michigan 2012

Figured I have been a little rusty and need to post a post, now that Michigan annual golf trip is quickly approaching. We have finally locked and loaded the itinerary. We have to be a "well oiled machine" in order to get this going. And, with the journey this year being me, Tom, Bob and Pete (newbie in Michigan, but his second golf outing like this), Tom and I make sure there aren't any loose ends. Airfare from DFW to Michigan was steep, so this year we're flying into O'Hare and playing our way up to Boyne. It's adding a couple of different courses to the trip.

Here it goes:
