Something I did during some of MI’s worst recessions since Y2k was to mow fairways at two of the nicest resort-style public golf courses within 7 or 8 miles of home. It was exhilarating to be running along on an $80K Jacobsen or Toro fairway mower at 5:30-6 o’clock in the morning making my cuts and patterns at sunrise and all morning long.
