Hartland-Birdie Drop
It was different. The Majestic once again offered its annual "Turkey Day" event on November 20, 2005.  On this day they partnered with Livingson County Gleaners Food Bank to collect turkeys for those who would otherwise be unable to have a turkey with their Thanksgiving dinner. They also dropped a couple thousand golf balls on a practice green for five lucky winners.

Everything went off without a hitch and their were happy golfers, happy prize winners and no doubt some happy Thanksgiving tables ladened with complimentary turkeys.

There have been other notable Turkey themed drops from a helicopter, the most notable "Turkey Drop" promotion from WKRP in Cincinnati. 

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!"
-- Arthur Carlson, WKRP in Cincinnati

To recapture one of televisions greatest moments check out this sound bite from newscaster Les Nessman.

COYOTE GOLF COURSE: FROM FAIRWAYS TO DRIVEWAYS
Coyote Golf Course, located in the South Lyons area, is on the block for real estate development. If the current deal is approved for residential use, the course will join the move to driveways instead of fairways like Rochester Golf Course, El Dorado Golf and Country Club, Links of Novi, Partridge Creek and Bogie Country Club.

MICHIGAN SKIER INTERNET TELEVISION KICKS OFF ITS FIFTH YEAR

The Michigan Skier Television Show with host Jim Neff, kicks off its fifth season this week, just as the snowline that is creeping downstate. This week's show is with Frida Waara, President of the Midwest Chapter of the North American Snowsports Journalists Association and Public Relations Director of the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame. Jim caught up with Frida last winter during the Evolution Tour. In our show Jim chats with Frida about the all women cross country ski adventure to the North Pole shie did two years ago. It is quite a story. http://michigangolfer.tv/miskier/season_5/northpole/index.html

LES CHENEAUX GOLF CLUB OR WAWASHKOMO
Art: There's an interesting mini-fued between Wawashkomo on Mackinac Island and Les Cheneaux Golf Club, both 9-holers, over which course is the oldest, continuous club in the state. If you're trekking around 100-year old courses, take in these two and get the story. Hope all is well.

  Craig Brass of "How to Quit Golf"

Craig I can see the problem. Here are some excerpts from their websites.

"Les Cheneaux Golf Club - The True "Natural"
A traditional links in its essential features, the Les Cheneaux Golf Club was laid out and chartered by the early members of the Les Cheneaux Club.   It was ready for play in May of 1898, and is, thus, the oldest still-playable links in Michigan."
http://www.lescheneaux.org

"Built in 1898, the name Wawashkamo comes from a Chippewa phrase meaning "walk a crooked trail" and was given by a local chief after observing a group of golfers on the links. Wawashkamo could claim the distinction of being one of very few American courses laid out in a links style that remains substantially unaltered. Named one of America's Historic Golf Landmarks by Golf Digest in 1996, Wawashkamo is the only nine-hole course among the dozen in the United States to have been so designated. The development of Wawashkamo Golf Club and the survival of its unique brand of traditional golf parallels the uncommon history of Mackinac Island, a place where much of the flavor of the nineteenth century survives, insulated from the modern world by the blue moat of Lake Huron, a ban on motorized vehicles and public ownership of eighty percent of the land.
