Weather, Bugs & Weather Delays
The area statistically averages a 77 degree-high and 65 degree-low temperature on June 7 each year. Jackson averages 3.26 inches of rain in the month of June.
The 54-hole tournament has never experienced completely dry conditions. The tournament will be played in rain, but not in a heavy downpour. The tournament could be adjusted to 36 holes on Friday or Saturday due to bad weather. Please use your daily pairing sheets and common sense. The Closest to the Pin, Skills Challenge, and 4-man Scramble in this order will be activities removed from the itinerary if needed. The tournament can also be adjusted for 27 holes on Thursday if heavy rain is expected on Friday. The Daily Pairing Sheets will be updated every night.
The choice spot to ride out very bad weather is the very large Clark Lake Golf Course clubhouse. The extremely large cluhouse with bar and restaurant can be found 12 minutes south using the maps distributed at the hotel.
Very wet conditions prior to the tournament can attract an obscene amount of mosquitos in southern Michigan. It is recommended that players obtain plenty of insect repellent for MULTIPLE golfers over the 4 day period if Michigan receives lots of rain prior to arrival. Absorbine Jr. works well.
If the live music gets cancelled on Wednesday, the group will move to Jerry's Pub on Wednesday night.
The cooler morning temperatures could require a pullover jacket. Umbrellas, drizzle sticks, rain suits and towels should be packed.
