Another lovely sunny day with very little wind.
Time to bring out the golf clubs and drag Graeme off to the Charlevoix Golf Course.
A nine hole course, so perfect. First though, Erica gave Lady Erica a good thorough clean inside.
Graeme meantime tried to organize a taxi to take us to the club.
After much persistence , he was able to track down Oma 's Taxis.
She picked us up at 11 .30 am.
The course was interesting Established in1896 and designed by Willie Watson from St Andrews course in Scotland.Its one of the oldest historical courses in Michigan. Ron the Golf manager said we would like it and he was right.
Beautiful greens and good fairways.On the sixth hole you had to hit over the road to reach the green.
Bit disconcerting especially when cars drove past as you were about to hit the ball!
Ron ended up driving us back to the boat as the taxi service was too busy.Such a nice gesture. Ron had also decided to have us pay for one round and golf cart as he couldn't help us out bring us to the course.
The water looked inviting on our return so we headed to the nearby sandy beach for a refreshing swim.
Later we biked into town for dinner at Terry's Fine Dining restaurant.Indeed it was fine dining!
The fresh perch fish meunière was delicious. We then wandered across the road to the park when two concerts were going on. Chris Martin was playing ( sorry not Cold Play Chris Martin,) and at the main stage a group of three women probably in their 60's singing great songs.Called SheBop and the Riff Raff from Ann Arbor Michigan. Very entertaining. After that the local band / orchestra came on.
The full moon was starting to rise and that capped off a lovely day in this special place.
Over and Out,
E and G.
