100 Hole Hike Sites in Michigan - benefitting Youth on Course
The 100 Hole Hike has been a staple fundraiser in this state since Youth on Course was first introduced in Michigan just a few years ago. This national initiative allows each state to facilitate their own hike sites while each hiker reaches out for pledged donations. Each hiker is challenged with a goal of raising $2,500 by the completion of their hike. Michigan has multiple hike sites across the state on different dates this fall, so if you're able and willing, join us and choose the one that would best suit you.
September 16 – The Highlands at Harbor Springs (Boyne) Par 3 Course
September 29 - Cascade Hills Par 3 Course
October 6 - Country Club of Detroit Par 3 Course
October 10 - The Hive at Verona Hills
To become a hiker - download the 100 Hole Hike app and register as a new hiker to officially sign up at any of these courses or click here to financially support our registered hikers currently listed in Michigan. Funds raised directly support the ability for YOC members, ages 6-18, to golf at participating courses for $5 or less.
"Hiking to support YOC was an easy decision, though frankly, at age 65, I wasn't sure about walking and carrying 100 holes in one 8-hour day,” said Janina Jacobs, a GAM Governor. “However, my anticipating the task was much worse than actually doing it...and after playing the first 50 holes, the last 50+ were a snap.”
Hike at Little Hawk for Youth on Course
On September 28th, there’s a unique fundraising event on the Little Hawk Putting Course at Hawk Hollow GC. This allows those unable to golf 100 holes of typical golf to play 100 holes of "putt-putt" style golf on Hawk Hollow’s natural grass, putting course. Once registered, you will receive your own dedicated fundraising page in the GAM.org website. Each fundraiser's goal would be to raise $1,500 by the end of the 100 holes at Little Hawk. There are limited spots available for this new fundraising event - email Laura Bavaird for additional details or to get registered as a fundraiser. Contact: LBAVAIRD@GAM.ORG or visit the Hike at the Hawk site to financially support those that are fundraising.
