Actually, we are still here.  As the fall colors gave way to the grip of old man winter, our golf pros took on their annual metamorphic change into winter roles.  We become boot fitting gurus, goggle and helmet experts, event coordinators, marketing specialists, zipline adventure guides and ski/snowboard rental aficionados.  We teach our golf lessons indoors on a simulator and practice our grip, stance and waggle amidst a sea of cold weather base layers and face masks.  In fact you may not even recognize us as being leaders in the golf industry because of our vast knowledge and expertise in the snowsports arena.

But, with the groundhog comes the golf show season and we slowly begin to get the itch for greener grass just like everyone else.  Our poles turn to putters and our skis to spikes.  We experience the thrill of the holiday season all over again as we open boxes of shiny new equipment and the season's hottest fashions to display in our golf shops for you to take home.  Our attention shifts to ensuring your golf package is the best ever and your lessons help to take your game to the next level.  Come see our pros March 5, 6 and 7 at the Michigan Golf Show in Novi for a preview of the excitement.  Book your package, take a lesson and get your gear for the season as we bring the BOYNE show to town!

The 2010 season will open on May 1st, so we have a little ways to go and still have plenty of great snow for spring skiing and riding.  Also, stay tuned for information on the re-birth of the Hemlock Open sometime in April.  A unique golf and ski competition this spring!
