Rumple 2007: Homecoming |
|
Treetops Resort Gaylord, MI    |
August 17-19 Treetops Resort - Gaylord, MI What do you say about our biggest group ever (21), our closest location yet and some mad, mad days & nights of golfing & drinking? I guess you say, I've been rumpled. Every year I struggle to describe the past year's event and all of its implications and this year is no different. I guess the super glue that holds it all together is that each person comes away from the Rumple with memories that make them laugh, leaving them inspired to compete again next year. If you don't have both, you won't be back and it is probably better that way.

Size Matters?
Well, it does and it doesn't... We knew we'd have a big turn out for our first Michigan rumple and we did. 21 guys made the trek to Treetops, including 14 Michiganians and participants from North Dakota, St. Louis, Las Vegas, and a foursome from NYC. This created housing issues, pairings problems and late night partying that featured a collection, but not the entirety of our group. It also brought a variety in ability, having our best and worst players of all time in attendance (kudos and apologies respectively). The never-missed-a-Rumple crew extended its streak to 5 so perhaps we will be asking them if bigger was ultimately better. |
Alright, so what happened during the weekend you say? Let's try and piece together the hazy days and foggy nights... together... We decended upon Treetops on Thursday this year, to find our condos weren't 'ready' and no grills were to be found. Good start. But, no time for that, we were off to Threetops for a warm up round. If you've never played Threetops or seen the Shootout on TV, thr elevation changes were such that you would figure out the yardage from the cart, select a club, then put that club back and walk to the tee with 2 clubs less and 2 clubs more than the original selection. From there, make a guess, swing away and laugh.
