2006 AM NATIONALS

[El Mexicano]

I just booked the hotel for Am Nationals. The wife found a Comfort Suites in Wixom that has just opened. The pool is under construction so the nightly rate is $49 bucks. These rooms have 2 queen beds, stove, microwave, etc. The Number is 248-504-5080. It is just off of I-96. The adress is 28049 Wixom Rd., Wixom MI, just in case you want to Map Quest the location.  See you there!

PM me if you need anymore info.

Any word on how far this is from the course?

Any word on how far this is from the course?

It's about 8 miles from the course.

Wixom is very close.  It is so close, I would not bother with getting on the highway.  You are right at the corner of Wixom and Grand River.  You can take Grand River west six miles or so to a right on Kensington Road.  You cross the highway and the park entrance is right there, on the right.  You follow the park road in, and when you go up a big hill, the Tobbogan course is on your left.  If you want to take the highway, the directions are pretty much the same.  Depending on the time of day, the highway might or might not be faster!

This reminds me of when I interviewed for a job in Madison, and they told me to watch out for rush hour on my way in.  I had to fight with all 6 cars to get there on time.

When I worked in Lansing my boss would work until 5:10 every day.  So one day I asked him if he took the 5:20 bus.  He said no, he drove his own car, he just liked to wait ten minutes for the Lansing rush hour to get done.

This reminds me that I work in downtown Chicago and I can barely get to any of the nightly leagues by the time they finish unless I leave at lunch hour.

My Michigan buddies are faring pretty well so far...as they should be having the best access to the course!

I need to cheer on my friend from Kansas Jeremy Rusco.  I didn't even know he was playing in this event!

Adrian is 3 off the lead after the first round with a 994 rated -3!  I wonder if power lifting would help MY game?

Youth and skill!  Nice shooting killer.

[Bruce Brakel]

Adrian can bomb and the Tobbogan is a bomber's course.  He may play it better tomorrow with the early start.  Today he was on the course when the winds came up. 

Both Adrians and I won stuff in the Lizard Games.  I won in the mini-roller game and Adrian Sr. won in the mini-slide game. 

After Lizard Games we set up the backyard course where I whupped junior.  I was -3 for 12 holes and he was -2.  Diana had the hot six, a -2, her best six ever and everything was in the hardest position too. 

If I had the technology I'd live blog tomorrow, but I don't.  As soon as the players come off the corse Todd updates the website.  Adrian's score tomorrow should go up around 1:00 or 1:30.

Right now my four friends at the tourney are 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th after the 2nd round. Not a bad showing!

[Dan Michler]

too bad all your friends live in michigan.

[Bruce Brakel]

Stryker got DQ'd today after he had an emotional breakdown at the end of his round.  He must have been drinking way too much Red Bull.  It is the talk of the tournament right now.  I was about as close to the action as I was for the Cam Todd meltdown.  Serge got a lot of it on videotape, but from a distance with zoom.

Congrats to Serg for a top 10 finish!


Hopefully the other club members that attended had a good time.

No posts yet? How did you guys like the course. Hole #1 is just awesome looking down!

I busted out my book from last year. Best front 9 was 31 & back 9 was 26. I only birdied 2 holes all weekend.
