Palm Springs golf the best? What about Northern Michigan?

Damn Chris, you’re a fellow Michigan man, right? You’ve been spending too much time at Bob Evans in the desert without your visor and ’sun’brella.

I’m in northern Michigan again and I’ve reaffirmed that THIS is where its at, especially in May. Fine scenery and plenty of options. There’s over 100 courses in the three-county area and you can find anything from $20 clunkers to Mackenzie’s Crystal Downs (tried to talk my way on today, at the least just to take some photos and was kinda told the only way I’m getting on this course is with a rake or a member’s bag).

That aside, Traverse City rules because there’s tons to do (you remember Pirate’s Cove, right???) and you can strike up a Pistons convo with anyone, anywhere you go.

Of course, for the sake of Journalistic Integrity, I should say I’ve never played in Palm Springs. . .and it’s a bit unseasonably cool here, even for a Michigan guy. . .in fact, I should probably mention that despite hitting four courses today I played about three holes total because with windchill it was about 25 degrees.

Where’s the delete button on this thing?

(I would also like to rate Las Vegas as the WORST place for golf. Once again, I’ve never played in Vegas but I’ve visited, and I say it’s the worst because it’s a little difficult to make it to a round of golf when the city keeps you up till 7 a.m. everyday)
