September 28 - Cancelled

Monday, the 28th of September, the Southwest Michigan Fraternal League of Ordinary Golfers will not be playing.

I have already been outside for an hour this morning, and the weather is something only a serious golfer would endure. 

More of the same is predicted for this afternoon, so I'm making the decision to cancel. If you want to go out, you're certainly welcome, but the rest of us are staying warm and dry.

Next week, I know some of the players are heading south early for Turkey Run, and I may be one of them. So I expect we will have nothing scheduled for next week either, but feel free to call or email and share your thoughts on the subject.

If the weather doesn't ease up, we may have played our last formal outing together for the year. There is still a shot, so I'll keep you posted.

September 21 - Indian Lake Hills

Monday, the 21st of September, the Southwest Michigan Fraternal League of Ordinary Golfers will be playing at Indian Lake Hills.

We have no reservations, but we will be able to walk on. Twilight rate is $20 with cart, so nine should be cheaper.

We will be leaving from John's house at 4 p.m. or my house at 4:05. Plan on teeing off at 5:00.

Looks like the rain has blown over, so the afternoon should be peachy, if not humid. Dark falls earlier now, so don't be late. We will be pushing to get in nine before it gets to dark to play.

Regards to our southernmost Flogger - no, not Bob Dryden in Florida, though we greet him affectionately, but Josh Wisner, currently camped out on the Antarctic ice. Stay warm! Think golf, and when it gets well and truly miserable, you can always wish you were in Michigan in the middle of January, when it might be a balmy (comparatively) 5 degrees above zero here.

September 14 - Pebblewood

Monday, the 14th of September, the Southwest Michigan Fraternal League of Ordinary Golfers will be playing at Pebblewood.

We have no reservations, but we will be able to walk on opposite the league.

John and I cannot be there, but you can probably figure out how to have fun without us.

For those of you that missed Monday two weeks ago, we had a super afternoon at Indian Lake Hills - the weather was perfect, and six of us went for eighteen. With the free passes, it was all for the price of a cart, which worked out to $14.00 a person. Not a bad day for the price!

September 7 - Labor Day - No League Play

Monday, the 7th of September, the Southwest Michigan Fraternal League of Ordinary Golfers will be celebrating Labor Day, so there is no scheduled activity. Feel free to coordinate an outing among yourselves, but I will be in San Diego, hosting a submarine reunion.

Next Monday, the 14th, plan on meeting at Pebblewood at 5:30.

I'll remind you later next week.
