The Golf Club at Harbor Shores

Top Ten 2010By Jack Berry

A year ago it was All Tiger AllThe Time. And the economy wasn’tany better.

The world and golf survived theTiger wreck and it turned into one ofthe best, most entertaining seasonswe’ve had with comparatively newfaces dominating the major events, Northern IrishmanGraham McDowell winning the U.S. Open, SouthAfrican Louis Oosthuizen the British Open andGerman Martin Kaymer the PGA Championship.

Koreans and Japanese dominated women’s golfand with golf in the lineup for the 2016 OlympicGames in Argentina, golf truly is the world game thathasn’t been marred by floppers, hooligans and fixersas that other world game has.

There still is that economy,though, and it figured as the No. 1story in Michigan and the entirestate tourism industry that providesjobs, jobs, jobs in every county ofthe state. Convincing the state leg-islature of that importance, and thebest attention-grabber the stateever has had to promote it, was adifferent matter even though thecampaign has been proven to bringmoney into the state.

The national award-winningPure Michigan television-radio-print-internet campaign showed thebeautiful Michigan we who livehere know. Four of the world’sgreat inland seas surround us andthere are more than 11,000 lakesinside the two peninsulas. Golfcourses that make most states jeal-ous, designed by the best architectsin the game. Everything recreation-ists and families desire is here.

When the Pure Michigan cam-

paign got going, it had $39 millionin funding. It was slashed this yearwith nothing for the fall and only$5 million targeted for 2011. Now,$10 million has been taken fromthe 21st Century Jobs Fund to pro-mote Winter and Spring and leavethe rest of next year to the newgovernor and legislature.

On the positive front, GeneralMotors announced it is returning togolf sponsorship. Cadillac is thename plate on the Doral tourna-ment, one of the four World GolfChampionship events. The rumormill had Cadillac also sponsoring atournament in Detroit but it hasn’tmaterialized.

Third and fourth on the TopTen go to west Michigan, BentonHarbor-based Whirlpool and itsKitchenAid division. Whirlpoolbrought Jack Nicklaus to town,gave him some land by LakeMichigan and he designed the GolfClub at Harbor Shores.

The course, surrounded by anew community, will host the2014 and 2016 Senior PGAChampionship. KitchenAid isstarting as title sponsor of thePGA Senior in 2011.

Nicklaus talked old rivalsArnold Palmer, TomWatson andJohnny Miller into helping himopen Harbor Shores in a highlysuccessful benefit one day benefittournament and clinic in August.

Holding fifth place on ourTop Ten list was the induction ofSue Ertl, John Traub and BillZylstra into the Michigan GolfHall of Fame, raising the Halltotal to 90.

Ertl was a top athlete at IoniaHigh School and golf won outwhen she went to Michigan Stateand from there to the LPGA Tour.In 1979 she was named MSU’sfirst Sportswoman of the Year andis in the Women’s Collegiate Hallof Fame and the MSU AthleticHall of Fame.

Traub, a big hitter and longtimeclub professional at Great Oaksand Detroit Golf Club, made a bigname for himself by rallying fromseven shots behind to shoot 69 in a30-mile-an hour wind to take thePGA Club ProfessionalChampionship.

Zylstra made his name, andkeeps making it, in senior amateurgolf. He twice has been namedGolfweek Titleist National SeniorPlayer of the Year and has domi-nated senior golf in Michigan.Zylstra recently won the presti-gious Society of Seniors RalphBogart Memorial in Florida for thethird time in four years.

Number six is Tom Gillis,

Sue Ertl entered the MichiganGolf Hall of Fame.

Ryan Brehm and his sister Natalietook 10th spot by winning state cham-pionships.

another veteran who struck it richat the age of 42. The 1990Michigan Amateur runnerup hasplayed all over the world but neverwas able to stick on the PGA Touruntil this year and he stuck likeglue. Gillis won $1,166,146 andled the Tour in birdie average(4.06 per round) and par breakerswith 394 birdies and nine eagles.He was 20th in scoring average at70.12. A friend said “Tom stoppedbeating himself up. He just wentout and played.”

And then, from senior ranks andthe mellow 40s, there’s Numberseven on the list – 15-year-oldHenry Do (pronounced doealthough he’s a doer). The 5-foot-6, 120-pound Ann Arbor GreenHills sophomore stunned theTournament of Champions field atBoyne Mountain when he shot 10-under-par 62 on the Alpine coursefor the first round lead. Do hadtwo shots over past championsAlison Fouch, an LPGA player,and three over Canadian Tour play-er Andy Matthews. At that, Dostarted on the 10th hole and bogiedthe 11th before making nine birdiesand an eagle, playing from thesame tees as all the male profes-sionals.

Michigan PGA past presidentDave Kendall, who has been teach-ing Do since he was seven, said“My friends and peers alwaysthink I’m exaggerating aboutHenry. This changed some minds.”

Do had a four shot lead withfive holes to play in the third andfinal round of the tournament butthen youth and inexperience andMatthews birdies beat him.

“I learned it’s hard to win,” Dosaid.

In eighth place, Grand TraverseResort celebrated the 25th anniver-sary of the Nicklaus-designed Bearon a Pure Michigan blue sky dayand it brought back the memory ofdeveloper Paul Nine tellingNicklaus he had a nice course. Hewanted a championship course thatwould pull the big game hunters tothe course. Nicklaus gave it to him.Golf Digest ranks the Bear the18th toughest course in America.

Ninth place is the first UnitedStates Golf Association tournamentplayed in West Michigan, theUSGA Junior Championship.Egypt Valley Country Club, whichran so many outstandingChampions Tour stops, gave thejuniors the same first class treat-ment. The juniors rewarded thespectators with awesome drivesand superb shots. Jimmy Liu, only14, broke Tiger Woods’ record of

youngest winner. Liu defeatedJustin Thomas, 4-2, in the final.

Ryan Brehm and his sisterNatalie took 10th spot by winningstate championships. Ryan suc-cessfully defended his MichiganOpen title at Orchard LakeCountry Club and Natalie defeatedSpartan teammate Christine Meierat St. Clair River CC for theMichigan Women’s Amateurcrown. On the male amateur side,Joey Garber, 18, of Petoskey wonthe 99th Michigan Amateur overEric Lilleboe at Oakhurst G&CC.Garber was the third youngest towin in near-century history of theAmateur.

The weather didn’t get a TopTen spot but it definitely was bet-ter than 2009’s cold, rainy summerspell. This year was filled withmany Pure Michigan days, rightthrough a beautiful fall.

For more than 50 years, theCalvin College Knights haveparticipated in hundreds of

MIAA (Michigan IntercollegiateAthletic Association) tournamentsthroughout the Great Lakes State.

During that time period, dozensof Calvin’s men’s golf teams havetirelessly competed with a commongoal in mind – to eventually cap-ture the coveted MIAAChampionship.

Through the years, the Knightshave overcome numerous closecalls and heartbreaks within theMIAA conference. Although theKnights consistently performedwell in the conference and attainedmany second place finishes, noteam was ever able to achieve ulti-mate glory – that is until this pastOctober.

This season, the college’s golfprogram was finally rewarded for

the perseverance that it has dis-played, as the 2010-2011 Knightsobtained the very first MIAAchampionship title in team history.

Led by Coach Brian Bolt, a1990 graduate of Calvin, theKnights finished the season with astroke average of 301.4, which wasjust low enough to defeat TrineUniversity, located in Angola,Indiana, by a mere two strokes.Undoubtedly, the 2010 MIAA sea-

son was quite a nail biter for allteams involved, especially forCalvin and Trine.

A Comeback for the Ages

Annually, the MIAA conferencecompetes in eight separate jam-borees that are each hosted by theconference’s collegiate members.Although the Knights had capturedtwo of the first seven jamboreesprior to competing in the season’sfinal jamboree at Pine RiverCountry Club, Alma College’shome course, the team still trailedTrine University by a staggeringnineteen strokes.

Yet, the Knights did not quit. Infact, the team was even more moti-vated to defeat their conferencerivals and claim their place withinCalvin’s athletic history.

With a team score of 296, theKnights won the final jamboree ofthe season and ended a MIAAchampionship winless streak thathad begun shortly after the conclu-sion of World War II.

“I still remember the entire jam-boree as if it only happened yester-day,” Bolt said. “It was a windyday and Pine River Country Clubwas playing especially difficult.However, although the team had aslow start, everyone stayed focusedon the task at hand.”

Throughout the tournament,various members of the team fullyutilized their talents in order to cre-ate magical moments on the golfcourse.

During the jamboree, DavidVeen (’14) claimed medalist hon-

ors with a superb round of 71amidst harsh weather conditions.At the same time, Eric Doezema(’11), a mainstay for the Knights inthe last four years, holed out on thethirteenth hole for the first ace ofhis golfing career. This high-oddsshot further improved the team’sconfidence level for the rest of thematch.

The momentum truly began tobuild. Jess Hendriksma (’11) start-ed his round five-over-par afteronly five holes, but he was able tomanage a very respectable finalscore of five-over-par 77, whilesophomores Dave Sarkipato andBen Kuiper finished with scores of75 and 81, respectively.

At the end of the day, theKnights had claimed one of thegreatest comebacks in the historyof MIAA golf.

Individual HighPerformers Form a

Triumphant Team Unit

As Coach Bolt reflects on thehistorical season, he cannot helpbut to remember each of the indi-viduals who strived to accomplishtheir dreams this past year througha fiery passion for the game ofgolf, as well as a relentless level ofcompetitiveness and a desire toleave an indelible imprint on thecollege’s athletic history.

“Prior to the beginning of the sea-son, the team set a goal – to winthree MIAA jamborees. By estab-lishing a core team unit, we wereable to do just that,” Bolt said.

Even though Coach Bolt’s sen-ior team members, Jess

Hendriksma and Eric Doezema,will be preparing for their futurecareers within the workforce nextseason, they will proudly remem-ber the ways in which they con-tributed to their college’s golfingsuccess each and every year thatthey attended Calvin.

“This year, Jess was the secondbest golfer in the MIAA with ascoring average of 74.5, whichranks as the second best average inthe history of Calvin’s golfing pro-gram,” Bolt said. “As he played inevery single match from his fresh-man year to his senior year, he ismost responsible for leading theprogram from ‘the middle of thepack’ to the top of the league. I amvery proud of his work ethic,growth, and leadership.”

In the meantime, Doezemaplayed outstanding golf throughouthis collegiate career as well.

“Eric was actually more consis-tent than Jess when they bothbegan playing for Calvin fouryears ago, but he struggled to playconsistently well during his sopho-more and junior years,” Bolt said.“Eric came back this year ready forsuccess though and I am mostpleased with his improved playthroughout the course of the sea-son. When the pressurewas the greatest and theteam needed him themost, he responded withscores of 74, 71, and 73during the final threerounds of his Calvincareer.”

Doezema’s consisten-cy certainly paid divi-dends this fall as his sea-sonal scoring averagewas 75.9 – the third bestseasonal average inCalvin history. In addi-tion, he earned SecondTeam All-MIAA honors,while Hendriksma wasawarded First Team All-MIAA honors.

Coach Brian BoltPrepares for Continued

Success

Although Coach Bolt will losetwo of his most talented and con-sistent golfers next season, he isstill anticipating a strong 2011-2012 campaign from the upcomingmembers of his team.

“Three of the team’s strongestperformers will be prepared to suc-cessfully defend the MIAA cham-pionship next year. Calvin also hasan impressive list of other fresh-men and sophomores who mayjoin the team next year,” Bolt said.“Of course, I am always searchingfor quality student athletes to jointhe team, so there may be somefreshmen who challenge the veter-ans next year.”

Also, Bolt is preparing his cur-rent squad for next May’s NCAADivision III Nationals tournament,

which will be held in Greensboro,North Carolina.

“The squad is currently workinghard in preparation for that experi-ence – an event that is bound to bea memorable event for everyoneinvolved,” said Bolt. “Also, it isimportant to remember that fourdifferent golfers earned medalisthonors in four separate leaguetournaments this year. This factalone shows the depth and poten-tial that the team has as itapproaches the Nationals tourna-ment.”

This past season, the CalvinKnights attained the very first MIAAchampionship in team history.

But, what will the squad do foran encore? Only time will tell.

Muskegon Mona Shores hasnow won two straight Division 2state championships but theSailors may be only halfwaythrough what would be anunprecedented run. A year ago theSailors won the state title withfour freshmen. This year theywon the crown with four sopho-mores and no seniors.

After more than a century’sabsence, golf has beenapproved by the

International Olympic Committee(IOC) and will return as an Olympicsport at the 2016 summer games inRio de Janeiro. What exactly thecompetition will comprise is yetunknown. However, the

International Golf Federation (IGF) has proposed a for-mat of 72-hole, individual stroke play for both menand women with a field of 60 players for each compe-tition using the Official World Golf Rankings as amethod of determining eligibility. Beyond the top 15,players would be eligible based on the world rankings,with a maximum of two eligible players from each

Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games

By: Bill Shelton

Golf will become anOlympic competition inthe 2016 games due pri-

marily to the advocacy of severalgolf “celebrities” and numerousgolf organizations. There hasbeen a plethora of arguments bothpro and con about the appropri-ateness of the sport as an Olympic

competition. The bottom line however is that com-petitive golf will be on the agenda at the 2016games in Rio de Janeiro. Golf should NOT be anOlympic sport and perhaps including it is the bestway to prove its inappropriateness.

Golf in the Olympics is not an entirely new idea.

country that does notalready have two ormore players amongthe top 15.

Golf, a sport thatembodies the truespirit of Olympiccompetition andolympism (a termcoined by FrenchmanPierre de Coubertin in1894, uses sport topromote the balanceddevelopment of peo-ple as an essential stepin building a peacefulsociety that places a high value on human dignity), willagain take its rightful position in the oldest and mostprestigious international, multi-sport event in theworld.

What better sport than golf to demonstrate olymp-ism? Golf is a worldwide sport that lends itself to thehighest level of competition – there are more than31,000 courses with more than 50 million golfersacross the globe. With no intent to discount the contri-butions of women in the sport, golf is known as the“gentleman’s sport”, which by definition impliespeace, fairness, honesty, and human dignity – all quali-ties needed for a peaceful society.

There are still questions about who will be allowedto participate – should it be limited to amateurs orshould the IOC take the same course as basketball,hockey, and other sports permitting professionals com-pete? My personal opinion is that it should be limitedto amateurs and be a team event. But, regardless ofwho competes, golf truly embodies the Olympic Idealand should be a part of the games every four years.

Detractors will argue that golf is already an interna-tional sport and does not need a place in the Olympicsto establish another Solheim, Ryder, Walker, orPresidents Cup. Of course, the detractors are correctthat golf is already a recognized world sport with manywell-known, popular competitions that pair internation-al competitors. But so does gymnastics, ice-skating,

In the 1900 Paris games and the 1904 games in St.Louis, there were golf matches and golf medalswere awarded. However, the matches were viewedas more of a “sideshow” or exhibition than interna-tional competition. In fact, the only participants inthe 1904 Olympics were from the United States andCanada. It was not successful then and it will not besuccessful a century later.

A few decades ago, the argument to include golfin the games may have limited justification due tothe scarcity of international competition as part ofthe regular tour schedules. A quick review of thePGA, Senior PGA, LPGA, and Nationwide tourevents for 2011 clearly indicates that shortcominghas been addressed. Admittedly most of the eventsare individual competitions but a stage is providedfor the best players in the world to compete. Theexisting team competitions such as the Ryder,Solheim, President’s, and Walker Cup already pro-vide ample opportunities for experiencing the thrillof representing one’s country as part of a team.

The failure of golf to be successful in theOlympics will be attributed to several factors. First,

swimming, and cycling - and all ofthese sports are Olympic sports.

Let’s take the advice and directionof the recognized leaders in golf suchas Greg Norman, Tiger Woods, PadraigHarrington, and Ernie Els, and add golfas a permanent event in the summergames. Including golf under theOlympic Rings can only enhance thegame we all love, and will continue thegrowth of the game for years to comethat these professionals and many oth-ers in golf have worked so hard toestablish. I am sure each of these play-ers display their Claret Jug,Wannamaker Trophy, or MastersTrophy prominently in their trophycase, and it would be hard to imaginean Olympic gold medal would not beon par with each of their lifetime golfaccomplishments. - MG -

logistically it will be a staging nightmare. Golf courses require asubstantial land area for new construction but even using an existingcourse will be a major undertaking in course preparation, staffing,crowd control (although there may not be much of crowd) andmedia coverage. As opposed to an event such as swimming or trackwhere ticketholders attend discrete competitive events of one to twohours, team golf can extend up to five or six hours per match. Mostpersons attending the Olympics want to experience a range of com-petitions during the visit. From a television perspective, golf doesnot lend itself to the Olympic format of quickly moving from onevenue to another. At best, it will be a choppy presentation.

Second, the major golf manufacturers have little need to commitsubstantial resources to the competition. Between the individualtours and the existing international team competitions, the additionalexposure from the Olympics hardly justifies the expenditures.Television viewers who enjoy golf (and would supposedly watch thegames) already are familiar with the names Titleist, Taylormade,Callaway, and other brands on bags, shirts, hats, and balls. Intoday’s world, if someone can watch the Olympics games on televi-sion, in all probability they can watch professional golf coverage.This is not about Speedos and snowboards.

Third, the existing internationalteam competition is more than suf-ficient to satisfy the fans’ appetite.Equally important, the competi-tions are firmly established andwill totally overshadow the signifi-cance of the Olympic matches.There are no track competitions,swimming and diving events, orgymnastic meets that come close tothe level of competition found inthe Olympic Games. In golf thatwill not be the case. Will theOlympics matches be viewed asmore important than the Ryder,Solheim, or Walker Cups?Absolutely not!

Finally, after a few (perhapsone) competitions, the superstarsof golf will not participate in thematches. For players such as Tiger,Ernie, Phil, Lee and a host of oth-ers, their schedules are as full asthey allow. So, at best, the compe-tition will be composed of secondand third tier players. Without thename recognition factor, the eventwill quickly become meaningless.And, yes, money is a factor for theprofessionals. Many internationaltournaments pay huge appearancefees in addition to the purse. Is theanswer then to limit competition toamateurs? It can’t happen as wasproven many Olympic games ago.

Golf is a great sport and contin-ues to expand into the internationalarena. Greg Norman has long beena leader in trying to extend thetours worldwide. He was right andshould be justifiably proud of theresult. But, the Olympic Gameswill experience a double bogey forthis experiment.- MG -

The catch slogan for GarlandLodge and Resort inLewiston Michigan is

“Come Out and Play”. I just spentthree days at Garland enjoying acouple rounds of fall golf and hadthe opportunity to take advantageof some of the beautiful surround-ings associated with this magnifi-cent property. First of all, the slo-gan is indicative of what is avail-able at Garland. From cross coun-try skiing excursions or snowmo-biling during the winter to golf,spring, summer and fall. Garlandhas something for everyone. If golfis your desire, then you have achoice of four championship golfcourses that offer the best you canfind in northern Michigan – lakes,streams, mature hardwoods, eleva-tion changes and the nature andwildlife you would expect fromsuch a destination. If somethingmore romantic or unique is whatyou are looking for then maybe

you would want to come out andenjoy the Gourmet Glide, a crosscountry ski adventure through thewoods stopping to enjoy five gour-met buffet stations along the wayor the Zhivago Night, which takesyou on a horse-drawn sleigh to theBridge Inn for a five-course gour-met dinner accompanied by spe-cially selected wines.

When we arrived we told thatthree out of the four courses wereclosed for the season. However, wewere able to play a couple of roundson the Monarch. It is noted in theirmarketing pamphlets as “one ofMichigan’s toughest courses” play-ing to 7,100 yards from the tips.Fourteen of the eighteen holes havesignificant water hazards. Womenmay fine this course very appealingbecause the yardage drops down to4,904 yards which allows the golferto take full advantage of the coursewithout getting punished by its diffi-

culty. I was, as were my playingbuddies, impressed with number 8on the front side and especially num-bers 11, 12, 14 and 17 on the backnine. These were fun holes to playand experience. We stayed in one ofthe cabins or villas and it was great.Private, quiet, comfortable andaccessible to all activities. We hadtwo complaints, no cell service andyou could not park your vehicle nearthe cabin. Our cabin was in the backso we had to lug our luggage quite aways, in the rain too. But that wasminor compared to all the otherthings that were handled with careand consideration.

The other three courses;Swampfire (6,854), Fountains(6,800), and Reflections (6,407) alloffer spectacular golf. All the golfcourses close on Friday October29th and will again open nextspring. So plan ahead for next sea-son and remember that golf pack-ages give you a choice of thelodge, cabins or cottages.

Tiger’s woes may be the biggest story in the 2010 sea-son of professional golf but rules—more specificallyrules infractions—may have the greatest conse-

quences. Perhaps the two-strokepenalty to Dustin Johnson forgrounding his club in a “sandbunker” that cost him a possiblePGA Championship received thegreatest attention but it was not anisolated event. At the same event,Jim Furyk realized a few holes intothe round that a magnet from hisputter cover was attached to his put-ter. Although finally determined byrules official not to be a violation,Furyk admitted the uncertaintyimpacted his performance.

Furyk was again the focus of arules infraction by being disquali-fied for being five minutes late tothe tee at the Barclay’s Pro-Am.One of the top ten PGA players wasdenied the opportunity to play in themulti-million dollar tournament andlowered in the Fed-Ex standings forbeing late for a pro-am event thatisn’t a requirement for all players.Furyk is an upstanding and respect-ed player who was penalized for alegitimate mistake. At about thesame time, Julie Inkster, perhaps themost respected player in the LPGA,

was another “victim” of an ambiguous rule, which resultedin her disqualification. She was in second place at the time.While waiting during a huge back-up on a course set up byrules official that had three par 5’s in a row, she attached aswing weight to an iron (violation of Rule 14.3) to makesome practice swings to loosen up her 50-year old body.

In the last few weeks of the 2010 regular golf season,penalties against Dustin Johnson and Juli Inksterbecame the catalyst for debates and questions about

the Rules of Golf.

On the last hole of the 92ndPGA Championship, Johnsongrounded his club in a bunker andwas assessed a two-stroke penaltyeliminating him from a three-holeplayoff for the Wanamaker Trophy.Inkster, making a charge toward thelead during the LPGA SafewayClassic, used a training device (aweighted club doughnut) whilewaiting to tee off and was disquali-fied from the event.

As a result of these highly publi-cized events, fans and golf analystsare posing the question “Do wereally need such black-and-white,cut-and-dried Rules of Golf?” Theunequivocal answer is YES!

Usually a chapter and verse guy –can you fault me? I am the grandsonand nephew of ministers - I willforego my typical verbatim quote andsimply state that the rules applied inthe Johnson and Inkster situationsspecifically forbid these actions. Andfor those violations, both received theappropriate consequences as prescribed by the Rules ofGolf.

Gray areas have no place in our game. The Rules ofGolf must be precise and strictly enforced whether in aweekend match for a Coke or a major championship. Toallow chaos, or the rule of popular opinion, denigratesthe game.

practice range, in the locker-room, and even played in the firstround. Then he was notified of his disqualification for failure to“register” when he arrived. He had forgotten to sign a book and itcost him an opportunity to win more than a million dollars! Hewasn’t late, he wasn’t invisible, he did not gain an advantage—hejust didn’t sign a piece of paper.

Three specific aspects of the rules of golf needed to be reviewedand revised. First, there are too many! The USGA booklet on TheRules of Golf has grown to almost 200 pages. Golf is intended as agame of skill, integrity and etiquette where the participant monitorshis or her behavior. It is played on the largest “playing field“ of anysport and only the golfer should be relied to conduct the game fairly.

Second, the rules are far too complicated. In addition to the USGArules booklet, every two years the USGA and R&A publish Decisionson the Rules of Golf, a 600-page tome that make rule interpretations

more complex. How many times inevery professional tournament is theentire course at a standstill waiting for arules official to determine where thegolfer may drop his or her golf ball?With the financial stakes so high,golfers are very reluctant to rely on theirinterpretations of the rules. Rules shouldbe easily interpreted so the pace of playis not unduly delayed.

Third, violations of rules should beidentified by only the golf participants orrules official, not spectators or televisionviewers. Unless non-participants can seeevery golfer and every shot during thetournament, it is inherently unfair forspecific golfers to be subjected to morescrutiny because of television coverageor fan following. What other profession-al sports have rules infractions called bytelevision viewers? This approach isantithetical to the spirit of golf.

The reduction and simplificationof rules would create a fairer, faster,and purer game of golf. Golf is a gameof honesty and integrity not because ofrules but rather the ethics and valuesof the players. Rules officials needalso to reconsider how the enforce-ment of rules best serves to improvethe fairness and pace of the competi-tion—not justify their existence.

- MG -

To ensure fair competition, we must haveexplicit rules and penalties that omit individual orsituational interpretation. In our Saturday morning2-2-2, club championship, or weeknight league,most of us play golf without the benefit of an offi-cial. As a self-governing sport, our fellow com-petitors and the honor of the game rely on theintegrity of each individual to abide by andenforce the Rules of Golf as written.

We both know that nothing is more annoyingthan a competitor violating a rule, particularly ifthat person thinks they have won the hole orround. How many times have we played the ball asit lies, added stroke and distance for out-of-bounds, and called a penalty on ourselves, only tohave a competitor disregard the rules for their ownadvantage and “win” the event? In ourcase, it costs $2 for the drink and maynot be worth the friendship to call themon it –although we should. On the pro-fessional tours however, the costs can behundreds of thousands of dollars and his-torical fame.

We may not like the rules or eventhink certain rules seize the spirit of theoriginal intent, but in golf “rules arerules.” That is what makes our gamegreat, and to keep golf the most respectedgame we must each adhere to and applythe rules as written.

Keep in mind that most rules actuallywork in our favor allowing for relieffrom trouble after we have hit a goodshot. No one complained after ArjunAtwal played his approach shot purpose-ly into the stands on the last hole of the2010 Wyndham Championships to getfree relief and a perfect lie – he won theevent by the way. The rules we don’tlike are usually a result of our own erroror misfortune.

A wise man once told me that leader-ship was not a popularity contest. Thesame applies to the Rules of Golf.Sometimes the rules work in our favor -sometimes not. But be assured that if weall play by the rules the game is fair.

Withmyclu

bs now storedin the base-ment, it’s thetime of yearwhen Ireflect onsome of the

highlights and personal favorites ofthe past golf year.

Best bounce back: You knowabout “bounce back.” It’s a statused on the PGA Tour that tracksthe success of a player comingback from a bogey or worse with abirdie on the next hole. Well, itwill be hard to beat the bounceback of McKenzie Rupp, a seniorfrom Essexville Garber H.S. atOct.’s Michigan High School GirlsGolf Finals at The Meadows atGVSU. Competing in some toughwindy conditions, she incurred ahorrendous 16-over par 21 on thepar-five ninth hole (her secondhole of the day.) But to her credit,MacKenzie composed herself andbirdied the next hole, the par-four10th hole—a unparallel bounceback of 18 shots!

Best Michigan tournament:My pick is the USGA JuniorAmateur held at Egypt Valley inJuly. The caliber of play of thesebudding Tour stars was remark-able. I watched phenom JordanSpieth, 16, shoot an effortless 5-under 67 in his first round over astretched to the tips Egypt Valley

CC, not an easy track. Later, GavinHall,15, set a new course andUSGA Jr. record by firing a 10-under 62. Then Jimmy Liu, 14,erased Tiger Woods’ name fromthe record books when he becamethe youngest USGA champion bybesting Justin Thomas 4 & 2 in thefinals. It was an amazing week ofexceptional play and a historicweek for WestMichigan as ithosted its firstever USGAnational cham-pionship. It wasworth the wait.

Best drive:No, it’s notSteve Stricker’s424-yard blast atKapalua’sPlantationcourse at theopeningTournament ofChampions.Instead, the bestdrive of the yeargoes to ’10Michigan SeniorAmateur cham-pion BillZylstra. You see,Zylstra claimedhis trophy atBarton Hills ataround 6 P.M.one evening andthen promptlydrove alone andstraight throughto Charleston,SC in order to

defend his title at another seniorevent beginning at noon the nextday. He safely made the13-hourdrive and carded a 71 in his firstround, two shots off the lead.

Best retort to a player’s com-plaint: Loved how USGAExecutive Director David Fay han-dled Tiger Woods whining about

Phil Mickelson didn’t make any excuses for his poorputting over the greens at Pebble Beach.

the greens at Pebble Beach.“Someone is entitled to his opin-ions, but he’s not entitled to hisfacts,” said Fay echoing a favoriteline of the late Senator PatrickMoynihan. Fay went on to explainthat although the poa annua greensat Pebble may have appeared inpoor condition, they in fact rolledfine and probably better than anytournament ever held there in June.In contrast, Phil Mickelson didn’tmake any excuses for his poor put-ting over those same greens.

Most gut-wrenching loss: Goesto Robert Garrigus who, mimick-ing Jan Van de Velde at Carnoustieat the Open Championship, blew athree shot lead at Memphis in Juneby triple bogeying the final hole,costing him his first PGA Tourtitle. Readily admitting the pres-sure got to him, Garrigus vowedafterwards to learn from his tra-vails. The next day, Tony

Kornheiser on ESPN’s PTL showpredicted Garrigus would neverwin a tournament.

Most gratifying win: Goes toRobert Garrigus who wins his firstever PGA victory by firing a finalround 64 at the Children’s MiracleNetwork Classic in Nov. atDisneyWorld. Afterwards in a TVinterview, Garrigus dedicates thewin to “Tony Kornheiser.” Touché!

Most under-reported golfachievement: Goes to 59-year-oldPaul Simson from Raleigh, N.C.who won the Senior “triple crown”this year, taking home titles in theBritish, Canadian and USGASenior Amateur championships.

Best item for tournamentviewing: A pocket-size pair ofbinoculars. I used Bushnell’s light-weight PowerView model atWhistling Straits for the PGA and

they worked beautifully. Handy toofor watching college footballaction at The Big House in AnnArbor. I used them to zero in onseveral missed field goals!

Best lines by an agronomist:Goes to Dr. Greg Lyman, Directorof Environmental Programs for theGolf Course SuperintendentsAssociation of America for: “Thissummer’s been great for corn—ahot weather grass—but not forMichigan golf courses.” Lymansuccinctly explained that bentgrasses found on courses are ‘coolweather’ grasses and can’t with-stand long stretches of hot humidweather as we experienced thissummer. Lyman ended by saying,“Remember, we’re playing thisgame on top of a plant.”

Best 19th hole outsideMichigan: Goes to Palm Springs’Indian Wells Golf Resort whose

expansive clubhouse includes asecond floor outdoor patio areaoverlooking the golf course and thescenic mountain ranges. With a gasfire pit as a conversational center-piece, one couldn’t find a betterspot to marvel at the surroundingswhile rehashing the scorecard andsipping a cold one.

Best post-event Press confer-ence: No press conference offeredmore compelling theatre than didthe losing USA team at the RyderCup. The emotion displayed bydejected Hunter Mahan followedby the stellar support given him byhis team mates spoke volumesabout camaraderie and the RyderCup itself. Can’t wait for Medinahin 2012!

Best Instructional DVD: Goesto Phil Mickelson’s Secrets of theShort Game. Excellent productionvalues, lively and smart advice,and a ready maxim for betterchips, “hinge and hold.”

Best golf flap resolution: Goesto PING’s John Solheim who wise-ly stepped in over the controversialsquared groove wedge flap broughtunwisely to the forefront by PhilMickelson’s use of it earlier thisyear. It was an unnecessary distrac-tion for golf already reeling from astagnant economy and TigerWoods’ downfall. Kudos toSolheim for putting out the fire byallowing the PGA Tour to finallyban the club.

Best use of golf for economicdevelopment: Goes to the Golf

Club at Harbor Shores in BentonHarbor. The Jack Nicklaus-designed layout is the centerpieceof an ambitious and community-minded development project aimedat revitalizing the area through thecombined efforts of three non-prof-its: Whirlpool Foundation,Cornerstone Alliance and theConsortium of CommunityDevelopment. Three cheers! By theway, the exhibition in August byNicklaus, Arnold Palmer, TomWatson and Johnny Miller was afirst-class opener.

Best question by a sportsjournalist: Goes to ESPN’s TomRinaldi when in his one-on-oneinterview with Tiger back in Marchasked: “Why did you get married?”
