Per hour by hour forecast the rain is suppose to be out of the Ypsilanti area by 8 - 8:30 am Saturday morning so tourney weather from 9:45 am to 4:30 pm the weather calls for cloudy to partly cloudy skies with only 20% or less chance of rain / Cool Beans !

Mike Michalak    May 13, 2016 at 1:32pm

I had this question by a few people (even though it is listed in the about section) so I will cover it again, Day 1 1st Rd tee off is at 9:45 am (Check in 8:15 am to 9:15 am) // 2nd day 3rd Rd tee off is at 8:45 am (2nd day check in 7:30 am to 8:15 am)

Hey guys and/or gals who are planning on playing in the Southern MI Open and are coming from the east side. I know it's a bit last minute but I personally wouldn't mind saving myself the hour drive back and forth Saturday evening. If there is anyone who would like to split a room around the Belleville area or the southern Ann Arbor area. There is a Red Roof Inn in Belleville and a Red Roof Inn and Motel 6 in Ann Arbor. I've stayed at the motel 6, nice amenities. The Red Roof Inns ... more

Hey guys and/or gals who are planning on playing in the Southern MI Open and are coming from the east side. I know it's a bit last minute but I personally wouldn't mind saving myself the hour drive back and forth Saturday evening. If there is anyone who would like to split a room around the Belleville area or the southern Ann Arbor area. There is a Red Roof Inn in Belleville and a Red Roof Inn and Motel 6 in Ann Arbor. I've stayed at the motel 6, nice amenities. The Red Roof Inns would get us free breakfast.

Both are basically the same prices around $60-65. We do get a discount through the PDGA which saves us about 10% at Motel 6. I'm not sure how much at Red Roof.

If anyone is interested, Holla at me and we can look to set something up.
