TPC of Michigan

Friday AM I put the little white ball on a tee at the TPC of Michigan. This was my second golf outing there in the past couple years. A very nice course designed by Nicklaus. We played a "shamble" which basically was a straight 18 holes with a twist. Everyone tees off and then picks the best drive. At that point you play your own ball the rest of the way in and take the best 2 scores in your foursome for each hole. It is kinda like a scramble but better for those "die hards" who hate not to play their own ball. My foursome was loaded with those diehards who worked on their stroke and wouldn't have a beer with me until the 16th hole.....after I had 16 in me. We ended up 3 under (tied for 1st).....I shot an 87. Then we went to the tiebreakers and I must say that my birdie in the #2 handicap hole sealed our win. $75 bucks for the Proshop.....which got me ONE polo shirt, a logo ball and a ball mark....what a joke. Needless to say golf was better then sitting in the office so I really can't complain!
