Michigan's Upper Peninsula will make a believer out of any jaded traveler

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:55:00 EDT

The Upper Peninsula is part of the state of Michigan only on a map. Geographically it's more like Wisconsin. Culturally, it's a place all its own. Bordering three of the Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan and Superior), the U.P. offers world-class fishing and boating and has long been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. "Yoopers," as the locals call themselves, take their golf seriously, and with three new courses opened in recent years, now is a great time to explore one of the country's last wild places. Summer temps are mild, and most of the U.P. stays on Eastern Standard Time, so you can play until 10 p.m., time enough to fish, boat and golf all in the same day.

Los Angeles Country Club wins World Club Championship

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:55:00 EDT

Year Number 7 of the World Club Championship proved lucky indeed for Los Angeles Country Club. In a spirited All-American duel, the LACC team of Dan Jennings and Brad Shaw dethroned defending champion Pine Valley Golf Club of New Jersey (Kelly Miller and David Abell) at Jeju Island, Korea's Club at Nine Bridges. For sustained drama, nothing might top the 2008 event at China's Pine Valley, where Pine Valley U.S.A. battled six extra holes before capturing the coveted Jay H. Lee Trophy. Nonetheless, the 2009 edition came close.

The Other Oregon: Bandon might be a purist's dream, but Bend is best for families

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:55:00 EDT

Bandon might be the pinnacle of golf in the Pacific Northwest, but despite the array of world-class courses, it's not for everyone -- mainly because it is walking-only, has unpredictable weather and lacks non-golf activities. For families that are looking for summer fun (biking, fishing, river-rafting) with their golf, try Oregon's other "B": Bend. A three-hour drive southeast of Portland and sheltered from coastal storms by the Cascade Mountains, Bend is the perfect retreat, no matter what your game.
