As a Michigan golfer I’ve had to live with a shorter golf season than the more southern states. For the past 3 years I’ve gone on a 3 day golf tip to Boyne at the end of August where we play 36 holes a day. After the trip I’m usually sick of golf for at least a week and usually 2 weeks. That puts the season into September. During the month of September things start to pick up at work and the weather begins to change.

I usually golf a few times during September, but with the weather changes and everything else going on, I’m just about done. I haven’t played 9 holes in at least 3 weeks and don’t know if I’ll get any golf in for the rest of the year. October is a month of cold rainy days and that’s not my idea of fun on the golf course. Courses run all kinds of specials during this time, but it just isn’t worth it to me. I need to move somewhere warmer…like California!
