TRAVEL GUIDE: Great Lakes of North America
Apr 3rd
I’ve been to Hell and back and if I get the chance, I may well go back again. The states of Michigan, (where Hell is), Illinois and Ohio kind of blend into each other and it’s where I discovered the pleasures of the Great Lakes of North America.
The Great Lakes represent the largest expanse of fresh water in the world with a unique and diverse landscape. This region is the size of continental Europe and covers eight states.
This was possibly one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. My adventure break in the Great Lakes brought a whole new meaning to the term ‘swinging sixties’ with yours truly literally suspended from a rope, zip-lining high above the trees and loving every screaming moment of it. Driving ATV, or all terrain vehicles, was another adrenaline rush, maybe only surpassed by doing a flip over in a tiny four-man plane as the sun set deep in the sky.
After that, horse-riding on a ranch in Brighton, Michigan seemed almost chilled!
A Great Lakes break is not just for the young and agile, although the others in the group definitely qualified. And it’s a holiday that can easily be combined with a stay in New York or Toronto (only hours away by car).
The main attraction in Hell is the General Store set up by Vietnam vet John Colone. It sells souvenir T-shirts, the usual shot glasses, fridge magnets etc, and also does wedding catering. Half an hour’s drive brought us to the Brighton recreational stables run by one Helluva handsome rancher and his wife. My dilemma there was how to climb on board the majestic mare I’d been allocated because she was blonde like me, but I needn’t have worried as we all had to use the bales of hay provided to mount.
The uncharacteristically fine late October weather made for a leisurely hack through the forest, followed by a hayride through the pumpkin fields at Mayhews in a surrey. We spent our first week under the leadership of young Joe Vargo from Columbus who quite rightly suspected we’d be ravenous when we arrived and brought us to his local diner. You couldn’t make it up.
From an eatery that probably hadn’t changed since the 1960s, it was on the road again and onwards to our first sleep stop at the Glenlaurel, a Scottish Country Inn. Nestled in 140 heavily wooded acres, Glenlaurel is in the process of creating a replica links style golf course with eight holes as built in the British Isles over 400 years ago.
I began to feel nervous as we set off for the magnificent Hocking Hills the following morning for a canopy tour, described as ‘the region’s most adventurous way to soar over autumn’s colourful vista’.The new higher, faster, longer Super Zip takes visitors right over the Hocking River and we also flew over caves, rock cliffs, waterfalls and some of the tallest and prettiest trees.
Nature lover meets thrill seeker just about describes it. Rappelling back down to earth, was the most breath-taking experience of all. Hocking Hills also offers hot air ballooning or a fabulous scenic tour, which we took with veteran pilot and flight instructor Harry Sowers in his Cessna, soaring over several local counties at sunset. Meeting Harry was just as thrilling as the ride itself.
An afternoon hike to Old Man’s Cave, one of the park’s most popular attractions was made all the more enjoyable by our guide, naturalist Pat Quakenbush who talked us through the history of Hocking Hills where early man first inhabited the caves over 7000 years ago. We later hooked up with Trent Walters from ATV World.
At first, I have to admit, I tried to cry off when I realised not only the speed these vehicles can do, but the terrain we were about to cover. But before long, the newly formed adrenaline junkie was back and careering over rows of huge tyres, uphill and deep descents through heavily forested woods with deers and other wildlife popping out for a peep.
Next day, after breakfast on the run, we moved on to Lake Erie Shores and Islands and caught the Miller Ferry to Put-In Bay.
Choice lobster and succulent seafood made lunch at the Boardwalk a very welcome affair before we took a tram ride round the little island on a super sunny day.
We stayed at Sawmill Creek Resort for our visit to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. Cedar Point is one of the most popular family destinations in the world, with 75 rides including some of the fastest and longest you’ll ever experience. (I chickened out!).
There’s the top thrill Dragster at 420 feet tall, the Maverick that launches through a 400feet tunnel and the Magnum, if you fancy taking off at 72mph before you even tackle the 200 feet rollercoaster.
A visit to a local farm market and winery seemed a sedate option next day and Quarry Hill had some fine wines on sale.
Regardless of the weather, which was fine for us, you can surf and swim at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky 365 days a year.
America’s largest indoor waterpark offers accommodation, an animal reserve, a spa and much more besides. What a way to start a visit to a new city.
Lexi, our next guide in Cleveland, escorted us on the Great Lakes Brewing Company tour in the city’s West Side. It’s the state’s first microbrewery.
Slept well at the Downtown Crowne Plaza Hotel before an early start for perch fishing on Lake Erie. All on board a charter boat with bait, tackle, licences and rods provided.
I’d never ever gone fishing before but beginner’s luck saw me thrilled, yet again, to catch three enormous yellow perch out in the depths.
From Positively Cleveland it was onwards again, to Pure Michigan for our first meeting with new guide, the truly delightful Barbs Barden.
Dinner outdoors with Barbs and Dave Lorenz was gargantuan and gorgeous and we got an insight into how very different the people from the Mid-West are from their East and West Coast compatriots.
Over the next couple of days we enjoyed our trip to Hell, riding in Brighton and another first for me, when we had a golf lesson with the pro at Huron Meadows Golf & Country Club. Well, you can’t be good at everything!
I showed real skill at driving the golf cart across the hiking trails and cross-country ski trails , however, until I thought I was back in an ATV and tumbled the thing.
Because of the enormous variety of trees, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula rates among the best ‘fall foliage’ in America and is a spectacularly beautiful sight with great sunsets. A guided tour aboard the Island Queen across one of the country’s largest man-made lakes displayed Kensington Metropark in all its autumn glory before we were captivated by the tranquillity of a well-stocked Butterfly House.
And how better to complete the adventure trip of a lifetime, than by a final Zip Line, Highropes Adventure Course and tour through the Howell nature Centre. There’s only one word to cover this Great Lakes trip — awesome.

Europe rules, America doesn’t care

Europe rules, America doesn’t care
Tue Mar 15 02:44PM
It might have been a balmy 27 degrees in Miami most of last week, but the exploits of the world’s best golfers left the American crowd cold.
The problem? The world’s best golfers are all European.
Organisers of the WGC-Cadillac Championship, the first big strokeplay event of the new season, had the bright idea of trying to generate crowd excitement by grouping the top three in the world together.
But the tactic backfired spectacularly. The number of people following the group would have shamed a Sunday morning at the Madeira Island Open.
One American golf writer counted just 58 people following Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald at Doral last Thursday – despite the fact that they shot an aggregate thirteen under par between them.
Of Europe’s – and therefore the world’s – top four players, only Graeme McDowell was watched by the sort of crowds you’d expect at one of the game’s biggest tournaments. The fans crowded round the greens and tees five deep while the Northern Irishman was playing.
The difference? McDowell was paired with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
Golf writer Gene Wojciechowski caught up with Lee Westwood to ask him if he was bothered by what seemingly amounts to a lack of recognition, but the straight-talking Nottinghamshire lad was neither surprised nor bothered… and admitted his sympathy with the crowd’s choice.
“If I was out there, I’d be out there watching Tiger,” he said.
- – - – - -
A final-round 66 from Woods managed to send the 14-times Major winner home from Doral with some positive headlines, suggesting that his recovery is well under way.
Tiger himself was quick to make the most of his top-10 finish, and equally quick to ensure that the newspaper and internet reporters could dig out their usual ‘purring’ and ‘prowling’ metaphors with an enigmatic ending to his Sunday night press conference:
Q. Are you still on track for Augusta?
TIGER WOODS: Oh, yeah.
Q. You’re liking your chances?
TIGER WOODS: Mm-hmm. (Smiling).
All fair enough, of course, and Tiger’s record at Augusta (four wins) suggests that the bookies have some science on their side for installing him as 6-1 favourite in Georgia next month.
But it does conveniently forget what went beforehand. Tiger is rebuilding his swing, and it is far from the finished article. During his first round he hit a snap hook that flew less than 100 yards, then a few holes later apparently hit a shoved, skied effort so bad that playing partner G-Mac admitted that, “it’s pretty tough not to giggle”.
He showed flashes of brilliance, but Tiger’s form is still distinctly patchy – and his superb track record at Augusta will be no more use to him than his even better Torrey Pines record was last month when he bumbled to 44th place.
Think of Tiger’s golf as a fine wine, with each bottle representing an individual round. A bottle plucked from the cellar containing the 2000 or 2005 vintages would be almost guaranteed to be an incredible tipple.
But all the evidence so far this year suggests that a bottle of Tiger 2011 is as likely as not to be barely a step above pure vinegar.

TWEET OF THE WEEK: Runner-up this week is Rory McIlroy, who tweeted, “Best part of @TheChristinaKim apart from her world class golf and great sense of humour are her tremendous _ _ _ _
” about the American golfer’s, ahem, rather prominent assets.
That prompted agent Stuart Cage to tweet, “if there were brains you would be a rocket scientist instead of a golfer”, to which Kim replied with our winning tweet this week: “If they were brains, I’d end all world hunger. Well, I guess I still could!!!”
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “They make ridiculous amounts of money, to the point where they almost put people off watching them. I saw Bubba Watson lose in the match play a couple of weeks ago and he was laughing. He didn’t seem to care. I guess when you make as much as they do, you lose some of the incentive to win” – Catriona Matthew, one of Scotland’s greatest ever woman golfers, does her best to pop the crazy, cash-filled bubble that the world’s best male golfers play in.
VIDEO OF THE WEEK: A few weeks ago BM blogged about the fantastic news that the Scottish Open is returning to a links golf course. It’s fair to say we were excited at the time – but after watching this video of Castle Stuart, that excitement has gone up a notch or two.
BRIGHT IDEA OF THE WEEK: American magazine Golf Digest locked a golf course architecture historian in a room with a talented graphic artist, and told them they couldn’t come out until they’d put together this fascinating graphical doobrie of the changes that have been made to Augusta National over the past few years.
PREMATURE AGEING OF THE WEEK: Goes to Adam Scott, who has switched to a long putter at the age of just 30. “I have to think it’s going to be great for me,” he said. He did not confirm plans to dye his hair grey, and rumours that Werther’s Originals are to be his new sponsors are apparently unfounded.

Ray McNulty: Kuchar is America’s hottest golfer right now
Mar 4th
Photo by Alex Boerner, ALEX BOERNER
Nick Price hits out of a bunker on the par 3 17th hole of The Champion Course during the first round of The Honda classic Thursday afternoon at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens. Price bogeyed to hole to go back to an even score with which he finished.
PALM BEACH GARDENS — As the ball curled into the cup on the 18th green, where his 12-foot birdie putt made him one of only nine players to break par in Thursday’s wind-swept opening round at The Honda Classic, Matt Kuchar’s smile beamed through the dusk that was descending upon PGA National’s Champion Course.
“I played great,” Kuchar was saying a few minutes later, standing outside the trailer where he turned in a score of 1-under 69, which left him just two strokes off the lead. “That might’ve been the most difficult round I’ve played all year.
“This is a difficult course to begin with. Then you add 30 mph winds? I hit a lot of good shots, gave myself a lot of chances. But nothing was easy out there. Even when you were putting, you had to allow for the wind. The conditions were tough.”
“So,” he added, “I feel good.”
He smiled again.
And why not?
These days, Kuchar has plenty to smile about: The 32-year-old Georgia Tech alum isn’t merely playing the best golf of his life. He might be playing better golf than any American on the PGA Tour.
Currently No. 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings, Kuchar has played five tournaments this year and has made the cut in all of them, finishing among the top 10 in four. Before last week’s third-place showing in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, he tied for fifth in the Sony Open, sixth in the Tournament of Champions and seventh in the Bob Hope Classic.
And he’s coming off what many in the golf world consider a breakout year.
In 2010, Kuchar played in 26 events and was among the top 25 in 20 of them. His 11 top-10 finishes included three third-place showings, one second and a victory at The Barclays — his third triumph on the Tour — and put him ninth in the FedEx Cup standings.
He also won the prestigious Vardon Trophy, awarded annually by the PGA of America to the player with the lowest scoring average.
“That meant a lot to me, leading the Tour in stroke average, because it shows consistency,” Kuchar said. “I don’t want to be a guy who wins two tournaments a year and misses 10 cuts. I want to be someone who is consistently playing well, giving myself a chance to win.
“And, really, that’s the difference in my game. I’m not just playing better, I’m a whole lot more consistent.”
Consistent enough to be considered America’s best golfer?
Europeans hold six of the top 10 spots, including the top four, in this week’s world rankings. Tiger Woods is No. 5. Phil Mickelson is No. 6. Steve Stricker is No. 9.
Woods, though, hasn’t won since 2009. Mickelson hasn’t done much since winning The Master’s last year. Thus far this year, Stricker hasn’t played as well as Kuchar.
Nobody has.
No American, anyway.
Yes, Bubba Watson has won the Farmers Insurance Open, but his other results don’t match Kuchar’s. In fact, Kuchar beat Watson 2 and 1 in the Accenture’s third-place match.
So, despite his lack of name recognition outside golf circles, Kuchar might actually be the best we’ve got — something that has become a topic of discussion among members of the game’s media.
“It’s nice to be talked about like that, but I don’t think about it,” said Kuchar, who won The Honda in 2002, when it was played at Heron Bay in Coral Springs. “That stuff doesn’t concern me.
“I don’t watch the Golf Channel. I don’t read golf publications. I never felt it would help me play better. It probably would hurt more than help, getting sucked in to that kind of thing. I know I’m playing some great golf.”
He did Thursday.
He finished with four birdies and three bogeys, and he left at least a couple of other birdies on the course. But, given the treacherous conditions — 20 mph winds with gusts up to 30 mph — he couldn’t help but be happy.
And it showed.
Throughout the round, he appeared relaxed. He chatted with playing partners Y.E. Yang and Johnson Wagner. He acknowledged, even engaged, the supportive crowds. He seemed to be having fun.
He was easy to root for.
“It helps when you’re playing well,” Kuchar said of his pleasant demeanor. “It makes it easier to have a good attitude. But that’s basically my nature. I’m a friendly person. And I enjoy what I’m doing.”
He was still smiling.

Hey America, you’re here to play golf..not invade Wales
Sep 30th
The Ryder Cup took a surreal twist yesterday.
It became apparent the American team has arrived in South Wales under the impression they are here not to play a golf tournament, but to establish a bridgehead for a military invasion of Europe.
Us team captain Corey ‘Crazy’ Pavin wore a Desert Storm combat cap at the 1991 Ryder Cup and appears to be still in the grip of his war fantasies.
So while the European team were treated to an audience with rugby great Gareth Edwards and a chat on the phone with Seve Ballesteros on Monday night, Pavin’s idea of motivation was to introduce Tiger Woods and Co to an F16 fighter pilot who shared his memories of night sorties over Iraq.
Never mind a combat cap, some of the US team sounded like they would be riding to the first tee tomorrow in humvees, wearing full body armour and carrying M16 series assault rifles.
Major Dan Rooney (right), the combat veteran pilot who has NO also established an event called Patriot Golf Day, told the US team that they were playing golf because the US military gave them the freedom to play golf.
Apparently, they believed him. The message affected US rookie Bubba Watson.
In fact it affected him so much he spoke movingly about his dying father – who fought in Vietnam – and said that, for him, playing in the Ryder Cup was the next best thing to going into battle.
None of the Americans smeared mud on their faces and crawled into the press tent under barbed wire fences.
But a few more minutes being brainwashed by Major Dan and they probably would have been on manoeuvres.
Even world No.2 Phil Mickelson felt sufficiently stirred by what he had heard to launch into a passionate defence of American foreign policy and to deny America has a particularly bad habit of confusing even genteel sports like golf with war.
“I haven’t noticed that to be the case,” Mickelson said, “but I do feel proud to be part of a country that cares about the civil rights of people all throughout the world and not just in our own country.”
It all recalled the tone of events during and after the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island, which became known as the War on the Shore after Pavin’s cap-wearing antics.
“American pride is back,” Paul Azinger, the last American Ryder Cup captain, said after the US had won.
“We went over and thumped the Iraqis and rallied to beat the Europeans. I am proud to be an American.”
How Pavin will react if the US retains the trophy on Sunday is anybody’s guess but if he compared the feeling to watching the carpet-bombing of Baghdad, after yesterday, nobody would be surprised.
When it was put to him that, given the criticism of his behaviour in 1991, it might have been wise for him to avoid drafting in the military to turn the Ryder Cup into a combat zone, Pavin disagreed.
“I think the military awareness in the United States is probably at an all-time high,” Pavin said. “And I think people, certainly in the States, and over here, appreciate the military and what they do for our freedoms.
“That’s what it was about at Kiawah. It was about supporting the troops in Desert Storm. Not only the US troops, but the troops from Great Britain and around the world.
“I think what the military does is amazing.
“To put your life on the line for what you believe and for the freedoms of other people, obviously it’s the ultimate sacrifice to do that. And I think it’s very worthwhile to recognise that.
“As I’ve said before, I want these guys to be accountable to each other and have each other’s backs.
“And basically that’s what happens in the military.
“Major Rooney just shared a few stories about that and how it relates in the military to what’s happened. It was kind of fun listening to some stories he was telling last night after his speech. We just sat around and it was story time.
“It was fun to hear some of the stuff. I think a lot of us that are not in the military have not experienced that.
“And to talk to a fighter pilot and hear the things that he does, night runs, just all of the stories, was really entertaining and quite fun.
“It was pretty emotional, actually. But a good kind of emotion.”
So instead of aiming for a flag when the competition begins tomorrow, expect the Americans to be armed with co-ordinates identifying legitimate targets.
And the Europeans? The way the Americans are talking, the best policy might just be to take cover.
WATCH THE BIRDIE, YOUR HIGHNESS
There will be eagles at Celtic Manor over the next few days – literally. While Europe and USA go hunting birdies, eagles and even albatrosses, swooping overhead will be an eightyear-old Ferruginous Eagle called Olga and a family of Harris Hawks carrying messages from a sponsor.
The Betfair Birdies have been hand-reared and over the next few days will trail messages of support from fans.
