Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 9/6/19 - Rick Back from the UP of Michigan, Club Champion

Rick was back last week in the UP (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan. At the beautiful, Island Resort and Casino, with a new feel and playing a new golf course, Sage Run along with some of the other courses in the UP.
 

Have a listen:

www.islandresortandcasino.com

Now just over a year old, Sage Run is the newest 18-hole course in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Like our other well regarded course, Sweetgrass, the eminent Paul Albanese, ASGCA of Albanese and Lutzke Golf Course Design, designed this course. Intended to compliment Sweetgrass, it provides a unique opportunity for golfers of all skill levels to experience perfection in golf course design on two diverse courses.

About the Course

Sage Run features a large drumlin, which is a long, sloping ridge. It runs throughout the course in different directions, challenging players to interact and move along the course with it. Each hole has a unique character and feel.
 
Part of a new breed of golf courses

The course takes golfers through pine scrub areas, open areas and partially wooded area. The architect appreciated the expansive site that was full of natural features. It's tough, challenging, but fun to play.

Rick was on the road again this week. This time a few places in the great State of Alabama

3. W.C. Handy -  from Florence  His home and museum

William Christopher Handy (November 16, 1873 – March 28, 1958) was a composer and musician, known as the Father of the Blues. An African American, Handy was one of the most influential songwriters in the United States. One of many musicians who played the distinctively American blues music, Handy did not create the blues genre but was the first to publish music in the blues form, thereby taking the blues from a regional music style (Delta blues) with a limited audience to a new level of popularity.
