Can You Identify These Jackson, Michigan Golf Courses From Google Earth?
We love golf in Michigan. There's something about paying your hard-earned money only to come to the harsh realization that you are not Tiger Woods.
This reality hits me every time I step foot on the course. One course, in particular, gives me fits every single time. I'm talking to you Cascades Golf Course in Jackson, Michigan. For three consecutive summers, I played this course at least twice a week.
Every time I would pull into the parking lot of Cascades I would think to myself "Don't go for the green on 8". Every time I sliced the ball on both 1 and 2 (both par 5's) I would think to myself "Don't go for the green on 8". As I putt the ball on my 10th stroke on 7, I think to myself "Don't go for the green on 8".
So as I put the tee into the ground on the box on 8, I look at the dogleg right and think to myself "You should go for the green here". So I go for the green on 8. I end up, once again, in the woods between the green and the tee box, having once again failed to just layup, and go for a birdie.
I love playing Cascades Golf Course, even if it plays me every single time.
Nearly every golfer you meet is going to have a 'home course'. It's the one they go to the most often, some even learned to play the game on their home course. But how well do you know your golf course? Could you identify it based on it's Google Earth image?
