If you haven’t been around to experience it, the weather report in Boyne Country has been sounded like it was scripted by Rain Man. 

"82, 82, 82."

No storm clouds and no toothpicks, just day after day of 82 degree highs and blessedly cool evenings. The clouds here are just artistic flourish. Happy little puffs punctuate the horizon and high altitude snake tracks give a little visual interest to brilliant canvas of blue.

These are days where you hear people saying “Now this is golfing weather!” only to wrap the night up with “Now this is sleeping weather!”. Turf grass and golfers are smiling all day and recovering blissfully at night.

What a miserable time of year to do things like home improvement projects…Trust me.  Also take this little piece of advice: Be careful when dealing with hammers, chisels and window casings.  One slip and the little bones in the hands can give just like a toothpick.  Nothing rains on your golf game like a fracture of the metacarpal below your left thumb.

On the bright side, a hand fracture also puts the kibosh on home improvement projects and BOYNE is so much more than just golf. I’ll leave the courses for you to enjoy for a spell while I do my rehab workouts on the trout streams and hiking trails. Enjoy this time.  I know I will.
