Jena Sims' golf trip to northern Michigan was a memorable adventure, filled with both golf and unexpected twists. The author, who played 166 holes over seven days, highlights the best parts of the trip, including the challenging courses, delicious food, and lively party scenes. The Bear course in Traverse City was a standout, known for its difficulty and bunkers. Garland Golf Resort, with its tiki hut bar and sneaky party vibe, was another highlight, offering a unique experience in the middle of the forest. The author also mentions the best sandwiches and golf course food, such as the white pepper sandwich at Short's Brewery and the hanger steak at Garland.
The trip also brought up interesting discussions, such as the trend of women riding along on the golf course, which has led to cart shortages at some courses. The author also touches on the issue of rising energy costs and the potential future where power companies dictate reasonable temperatures in homes. The 4th of July celebration is looming, and the author emphasizes the importance of celebrating freedom and being grateful for the country's history and values.
In conclusion, the trip was a success, with no arrests or medical issues, and the author looks forward to repeating the experience next year. The author also mentions a surprise piece of content from Garland's 'Tee Shot Tuesday' Facebook series, which will be revealed next week. The trip's overall sentiment is one of camaraderie, good memories, and a desire to return to the peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere of Up North.
