About this episode

This week we're joined by Jerry McGarvey, Kerry's friend and volunteer organizer behind a guys' trip to Northern Michigan that over-delivered on every front. Jerry walks us through the courses, the expectations, the optional logistics, and why this will be a sick golf trip.We cover:• How the "Michigan? Really?" skepticism turned into "when are we going back?"• Forest Dunes — a Tom Doak public gem that belongs on every golfer's list• Bay Harbor — Pete Dye cliffside golf along Lake Michigan• Arcadia Bluffs — views and vibes that rival any coastal destination• Why Michigan's quality-to-cost ratio punches above its weight• Group size, logistics, and how to pull off a seamless multi-course trip
