================MG ON THE ROAD================Thompsonville - Crystal Mountain ResortWe just returned from a magical time at Crystal Mountain Resort while covering the MichiganWomen's PGA Open, won by Lisa Strom.

First of all, the golf program continues to thrive under the leadership of Brad Dean and his cadre ofinstructors Scott Wilson, Ina Davis, Mike Pearson, Ed Laprade and Mike Cote. They have beenselected as one of Golf Magazine's Top 25 golf schools. Their students have done quite well, RyanBrehm has won two Michigan Opens and former EMU star Korey Mahoney continues to pick upsome checks. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they have incorporated a new line of thinking into theirgolf instruction, Zeno Link. On our video, Scott Wilson describes the latest wrinkle in their golfinstruction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQWODFHA4T8

Crystal Mountain has continued to create lodging units on its property with a series of bungalowsbuilt at the base of their ski hills. Its inventory of available rooms, education center, spa andrecreational facilities has allowed the resort to attract sizable corporate and association business. Thegrounds are beautiful and showcase the buildings dramatically. We were so struck by the beauty ofthe place that we created a Michigan Travel Television show just to let our viewers see howspectacular it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJwbKPHxxlE

****Arcadia - Arcadia BluffsThe addition of lodging at Arcadia Bluffs has made it a real player in destination golf. They have thegreat course, fantastic views and now rooms for people who want to extent their stay and play.. BillSchriver, GM of Arcadia Bluffs, was understandably excited as he showed us around the property.The new lodge has 15 comfortably appointed guest rooms. Ten of the rooms face west with views ofLake Michigan, while the other five offer sunrise views. Each room is furnished with a king bed, deskand chair, flat screen television, stand up shower, and private walk-out porch.

The rooms are indeed spectacular and offer outstanding views of the property. Your best bet is toclick on to their website for the latest news and views.http://www.arcadiabluffs.com/the_lodge.php

====================================================================STROM STORMS FROM BEHIND TO WIN MICHIGAN WOMEN'S OPEN: By Tim Hygh=====================================================================

Lisa Strom of Huntersville, NC came from three shots behind to win her second Michigan Women’sOpen Championship at Crystal Mountain. Strom, 33, edged first and second round leader SuzyGreen-Roebuck by a shot with a clutch 8-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a final round 71 and atournament total of 2-under, 214. Green-Roebuck finished alone in second at -1, 215.

“The key today was to be consistent,” said Strom who won here in 2007. “Today I hit a lot of greensand only misjudged one iron shot.”

Green-Roebuck, 42, entered the final round with a three-shot cushion but gave away a stroke on thefirst hole with a bogey…the first of four during the round. Up until then, she had recorded just three-bogeys combined for the tournament. She has been battling a bad back all week and left the course

with numbness on her right side. But she made Storm earn her victory on the last hole.

On the par 5 18th, Green-Roebuck laid up to 70-yards and hit a wedge to 9-feet. Strom went for thegreen in two but landed just short of the green and in the first cut of rough. Strom knocked her chip to8 feet above the hole. Green-Roebuck made her birdie and that left the last play of the 54-hole eventup to Strom.

“You play in these tournaments to get into situations where your heart beat rises and it was on 18,”Strom said. She holed the birdie putt to end the tournament and collect $5,500 of the $40,000 purse.She now heads out to the Duramed Future’s Tour for three-events and then back to the LPGA Tourwhen they return from Asia.

Roebuck-Green heads back to her family in Ann Arbor. She hasn’t played three consecutive rounds inthree days since last year’s Michigan Women’s Open.

Two long time rivals finished tied for third. Elaine Crosby, 52, of Jackson and Sue Ertl, 52, formerly ofIonia both shot 71-216 for even par.

Only four players bested par or better.

================================================================TEN REASONS NOT TO MISS THE USGA JUNIOR AMATEUR: By Terry Moore================================================================Beginning this weekend with practice rounds, Egypt Valley CC will host the 63rd U.S. Junior Amateur,the first ever USGA national championship held in the Grand Rapids and West Michigan area.Whether or not you love golf or just like to yell “fore” from a speeding car, this is a championship notto be missed. In a state that sadly no longer hosts a PGA Tour stop like the Buick Open or ChampionsTour events at TPC of Michigan and Egypt Valley, this is as good as it gets for watching inspirationalgolf. Let me count the ways:

A national golf championship: Conducted by the USGA this championship for boys ages 17 and under,and ending with a 36-hole final match on July 24, will have a different aura than other tournaments.Far from the spoils and excess of Tour-level play, there’s something elemental, innocent andrefreshingly genuine about amateur and junior golf. If your mental golf game is in a slump, attendingthis event will snap you out of it. And besides, it’s free.

The defending champion: A Dallas lefty already committed to attending the U. of Texas in 2011,Jordan Spieth, 16, not only made the cut at this year’s Byron Nelson HP Classic he contended for the

title on the weekend, finishing T-17th in the PGA Tour event. In six tournaments so far for the eliteAmerican Junior Golf Association (AJGA), Spieth has been in the top ten each time and is averaging70.76. Listening to Spieth during a telephone media interview session in May, I found him to be apolite, poised, and well-grounded young man with lots of class and enormous talent.

Top players: Start with the exempt players such as Shugo Imahira (2009 Junior Amateurquarterfinalist), Anthony Paolucci (2007 Junior Amateur runner-up), Cameron Wilson (2009 JuniorAmateur quarterfinalist), and Emiliano Grillo (Special Exemption & rated as 6th best junior byGolfweek.) Next, one should keep an eye on those contestants ranked high by Golfweek and/or theAJGA, such as Bobby Wyatt (no. 1, Golfweek); Oliver Schniederjans (no. 4, Golfweek); and DennyMcCarthy (’09 Big “I” winner; no. 5, Golfweek). Added note about Paolucci: He’s ranked # 1 by theAJGA after winning two events this year.

A player whose younger sister is a pro and a rising star! Yep, that’s Curtis Thompson, brother of 15-year-old Alexis who finished in the Top Ten at Oakmont after turning pro last month. Curtis, 17, hascommitted to playing at Louisiana State in fall 2011.Rooting for Burt: In spite of two sectional qualifiers here in the state --one in Grand Rapids at CascadeHills and the other at The Orchards near Detroit --only one native son will be teeing it up next week.Unless an alternate gets in, the hope and pride of Michigan rests with Holt’s Brian Burt. Of the eightspots earned here in Michigan, seven went to players hailing from Canada, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, andTexas. In all, the championship will welcome players from 47 states and at least seven countries.

Up close and personal: I watched the Grand Rapids sectional medalist –Toronto’s Richard Jung--play afew holes last month and he’s impressive. With muscular arms and a confident demeanor, Jung shot68-70 at Cascade Hills and won the medal by six shots over Burt. Jung, 17, is on Canada’s eliteDevelopmental Team which receives full-time support from national team coaches and sport sciencepersonnel.

The course: Egypt Valley will be a scenic, tough but fair test, stretched out to more than 7,100 yardson the “Classic Course” or the back nines of its two courses. Some of the members have beengrumbling about the length of the rough for the past two months, but that’s how a nationalchampionship must be set up well in advance of championship week. These kids hit it so long (Note:At the last five “Big I” Junior Classics, the longest drive contest winners all have been over 340 yards!)the USGA must place a premium on accuracy. Hence, the primary rough will be a gnarly 3 ½ inches.Given Egypt Valley’s perched and rolling greens, a rock-solid short game—especially with the sand andlob wedge-- will be paramount. At times, it won’t be pretty watching these juniors trying to get it upand down during the 36 holes of stroke play. Many will grow old trying.

Spectator vantage points: An ideal multi-hole viewing area is at the second hole, north side of the cartpath and on a hill past midway down the rough. With binoculars, this is a panoramic spot to watchplayers playing the second, third, fourth and fifth holes. On the back side, a spot well short of the par-five 13th hole allows one to watch approach shots to this hole as well as the next, the par-four 14thhole.

The beauty of match play: After the first two days of stroke play, the low 64 scorers advance to matchplay next Wednesday. Match play is a wonderful and revealing format that demands playing thecourse and one’s opponent at the same time. As a spectator, you can never go wrong following anymatch because each one is valued the same yet has its own unique story of triumph and loss.

Community support: Kudos to the many generous and understated supporters for this nationalchampionship. ‘Giving back’ is a hallmark credo of the Grand Rapids business culture and it shouldbe acknowledged. Three cheers to Egypt Valley, Amway, Foremost Insurance, Haworth, Meijer,Huntington Bank, Wolverine World Wide, West Michigan Sports Commission, Golf Association ofMichigan, and the Wege Foundation for being the major boosters. But there are hundreds of otherindividuals and companies behind this event. Don’t miss it.

========================================================THE 2009 GOLF CONSUMER BASE PROFILE: SHIFTING SLIGHTLY========================================================In the last issue we looked at the 2009 golfer base scorecard measures (size, participation rate,frequency, play rate and involvement levels). In this issue we'll turn our attention to analyzing how thegolfer profile is changing across the key measures of gender, age and income. The good news is that itisn't changing radically in profile comparing 2009 to 2008. Since we did have a drop in the number ofgolfers and the participation rate though, we'll determine which golfer demographics contributed tothose declines as well as reviewing which demographic groups contribute the most to the consumerbase.

The headlines for the key demographic groups that we'll cover in more detail in the body of this issueare:

Gender: Women carried the industry on several fronts in 2009, even from their relatively small base.Females held their number of golfers number (meaning the decline is all attributable to male attrition),increased their frequency and had an increase in rounds reported via the consumer survey. Despitethose heroic efforts, the small size of the female base simply helped avert a larger loss rather thancreating any measurable gain.

Age: Much like Medicare, golf is experiencing its own "doughnut hole" among lifestages as theJuniors grow steadily but the 18-54 groups comprised the vast majority of the golfer loss. The olderlifestages (55+) saw a rare drop in rounds contribution which, if it continues, could be a challenge.

Income: We also saw an expected bifurcation of performance among income groups with the $75K+group increasing slightly against losses in golfers and rounds among the $0-$35K group.

Overall, we lost where I would have expected us to lose; in the X/Y generations and in what I wouldterm the low-to-mid-income range. I would suggest in the current landscape that the lower incomegroup loss is not necessarily a function of "affordability" but rather due to employment andhousehold economic pressures which are greater than the relatively attractive value point of golfdriven by oversupply and discounting. Simply put, we're not that appealing to the X/Y generationsand some golfers in the low-to-mid-income groups are on the sidelines until their employment and/oreconomic fortunes improve...
