Boyne, Michigan – The Memorial / Mountain Run
The first official Great Eight sanctioned event took place in the majestic pines of Northern Michigan at Boyne Mountain. This was a hallowed event that included courses such as “the Mountain” and “the Memorial”. After hours activities included unlimited play at the “grab a few clubs and a few bucks” par 3 course for evening enjoyment. This inaugural event was eventually won by the most narrow of margins by team Hawkins, Belanger, Bittner & Kunkel – thanks to a “hail-mary” 4 iron shot over the water on the final hole by Mr. Belanger – putting it 3 feet stiff. Of course, most of us forget that Eddie and billy-baroo missed a two footer that would have forced a play-off (Michael told you to go high!) …….. but that was 15 years ago, who’s keeping track – just ask Bill Buckner!
Wild Dunes, South Carolina – The Harbor / The Links
Harbor and Links courses. Another milestone established as Michael shoots a one over par 71, finally justifying his 0 handicap. This continues as the GR8 low round record in tournament play! Great job Michael!
Lakeview Resort, West Virginia
Memories are a bit scarce here, but Eddie did make the highlight film as he put his life on the line with a dramatic save of a run-away down hill cart on 18 – without spilling his pretzels! Mess, that’s what parking brakes are for! To top it off, Eddie regrouped from his near-death experience to chip-in on the same hole to secure the win!
Scottsdale, Arizona – Greyhawk / Troon North / McCormick Ranch
It’s a dry heat! Desert golf. This one raised the bar. Playing courses such as Greyhawk, Troon North and McCormick Ranch. It was a challenge to try and find a shadow of a cactus to stand in for shade – NO TREES and 110 degrees. Dry heat – my ass!
Kunkel introduced us to his now famous rattlesnake alert. Each time he entered a hazard (frequently), he went in club first with his resounding “Highhhh Yahhhh”. We fell two holes behind, but still knew when Jeff was in trouble!
GR8 highlights included a dramatic comeback on the McCormick Ranch course. Kunkel/Bittner down 3 to Gallagher/Galbos with 5 holes to play. Gallagher experienced a rare meltdown fueled by a raging wind storm that blew in (divine intervention?) and no doubt a bit of ragging and trash talk from the Kunkel/Bittner group contributed to this slide. The student became the teacher as Galbos tried hard to coach Gallagher – but it wasn’t to be. Congratulations Kunkel/Bittner!
Detroit, Michigan – OakPointe
We fell down on this one a bit. Procrastination and a lack of planning led to the potential first ever postponement of the great eight – however, Mr. Belanger rescued us at the 11th hour and hosted us at his own Club (very dangerous) at OakPointe – thanks again Paul!
Seabrook, South Carolina – Ocean / Winds
Ocean Winds course. Introduced a new competition … closest to the pin throwing golf balls from our balcony onto the green.
Greenleaf, Florida
It was planes, trains and automobiles as the Chicago contingency of Kunkel, Belanger and Gallagher made a last minute dash to barely make the first tee. But make it they did! A true commitment to the group. Neither Mother Nature nor our national transportation systems would keep them from the Great 8 annual event.
Then Mother Nature spoke again. As we attempted to finish the first round one of the most threatening storms came rolling in. As the Bishop in Caddy Shack was ready to push on so was the majority of the group…yet there is always one. As the first strike of lightning was seen in the distance Eddie Bittner was no where to be found. All that was left in the fairway was a tube of Chap Stick, a handkerchief, and a bee sting kit (I don’t think we had cell phones at the time). Gentlemen, if we are ever in any serious trouble Eddie will be behind us every step of the way.
Las Vegas Baby – Paiute / Badlands
What else can we say – it was Vegas. Galbos did an outstanding job orchestrating this one. The Badlands and Paiute were outstanding desert courses. The evening activities were also enjoyable for all – some of us came up a bit lighter in the wallet, but we were all winners!
Still looking for Johnny to perform an encore.
Robert Trent Jones Trail – Opelika, Alabama
Time zone. This one was dangerous. Mary Nelan (it’s a double name) was our wonderful hostess at the local Auburn University watering hole. Jeffery, thank you for cleaning the van. Airport departure area and curbside awards ceremony at 6:30 am – a bit anti-climatic.
Eastover in New Orleans
or ‘Norlins’. The accommodations were a bit scary, but allowed us to partake in the nightlife of Bourbon Street.
Ran into the old coach of the Chicago Bulls (now recruiting 8 year olds at USC), Tim Floyd.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – Heathland / Moorland
The Legends. Heathland, Moorland courses.
With bagpipes playing in the background, the first GR8 wearables were rolled out along with the GR8 Cup!
Winning team: Eddie, Johnny, Dan, Mike
Eagle Ridge, Galena, Illinois – The General
The General. A bit of a different flavor to this one as we flew into Chicago and drove 3 hours thanks to escorts Mr Belanger and Mr. Gallagher. Mike – buy a car with cup holders next time! The ride was priceless.
Another milestone event in GR8 history. The scene was the second 18 being played on Saturday. Dave Bittner officially loses a golf ball. 11 years, 11 months and 29 days without a lost ball – but who’s counting …… Galbos – records are made to be broken!
The bar was raised on housing accommodations, however it was definitely lowered on dining … we ordered pizza in all three nights because we were such slugs.
We strayed from tradition and mixed up the teams this year. Winning team: Paul, Dan, Dave, Mike.
Pinehurst, North Carolina – Pine Needles / Mid Pine / Pine Wild
Courses included Pine Needles, Pine Wild and Mid Pine. Mr. Dave’s wild ride … after taking a stray golf ball to the silver bullet, Dave Bittner takes us on a wild ride through the middle of Pinehurst #2 – it’s a road, no it’s a cart path! Several of us were injured from laughter!
The tremendous housing accommodations continued, however, this time we raised the bar on meals. Mr Hawkins introduced us to his world famous ribs – which have now become a GR8 staple.
The pine needle flooring throughout the entire community was cool.
We reverted back to the traditional teams. Winning team: Rick, Jeff, Paul, Dave.
Keystone, Colorado – Ranch / Raven
Keystone Ranch and the Raven. Accommodations were second to none. Meals were outstanding — thanks to Mr. Hawkins ribs and Mr. Kunkel’s scrambled egg breakfast sandwiches.
Course elevations were extreme, thin air required less club, grabbing a 7 iron for a 210 yard par 3 down hill. Mountain weather — you could smell and feel the 10 minute storms coming in, only to have them leave as quickly as they arrived. Sudden temperature drops, Galbos playing his best golf with a pair of winter gloves on!
Galbos did an outstanding job as the designated driver of the silver bullet – Thank you Johnny! It was an early 5:00 am Sunday morning departure for the airport – Mr. Hawkins takes the heat on this one. Winning team: Ed, John, Dan, Mike.
Kingsmill – River / Woods
2007 saw us venture East to Kingsmill Resort where we took in some history that was offered but made some history of our own. For the first time in the storied past of the Great 8, John Galbos (and his partner Dan Messings) were triumphant in the Two-Man Alternate Shot contest soundly defeating the team of Hawkins/Bittner.
So surprising was this victory that upon learning he had won the match on the 17th hole, Mr. Galbos was heard saying “You’ve got to be @!?$ing me!!!!” and truly was stunned, even apologizing to Bittner for having beat him. Mr. Hawkins was so upset, he decided to take his left handed golf balls and went home. Both were seen later that night celebrating the victory and already embellishing the historical event. The winning team this year was Kunkel, Belanger, Hawkins and Bittner.
Lake Oconee, Greensboro, Georgia – Reynolds’s Plantation
What an event! Accommodations were outstanding, although Dave was forced to sleep on the couch again (Jeff, this directly impacts your handicap!). The Plantation and National courses were inviting and I think we all left a few balls behind – except David of course.
A quick recap – the team of Galbos, EBittner, Gallagher and Messing wrestled the famed Great8 cup back against all mathematical odds. After being down 5 points, with only 4 available, some might think this team was closed out … never say never … this team went on to secure the final 4 points, narrowly escaping with victory.
Highlights included; Kunkel came out of the gate strong and absolutely schooled a dazed and confused Mr. Messing. Messing was heard mumbling something about knowing how Rocky felt as he was pummeled by Apollo. “No mas! No mas!” could be heard as he waved the white flag after only 12 holes.
Perhaps the comeback of the weekend goes to David, being down 3 with 3 to go against the rivaled Michael … David calmly snakes 3 long putts on the final three holes, including a 22 footer on 18, with a hostile gallery jeering, to earn a push.
Hawk earned the bonehead move of the week as he “forgot” the famed Great8 cup. He did make amends as he facilitated an “immediate transfer of possession” as he returned home that Sunday evening.
Match recaps: 1st round – Kunkel smoked Messing, David pushed Michael, Eddie squeezed out Paul and Hawk showed no mercy with Galbos. 2nd round – Eddie and Mess earned a rare victory over Belanger and Hawkins. David and Jeff disposed of Johnny and Michael. 3rd round – Alternate shot, Messings and Galbos won for losing. Paul and Jeff discarded Michael and Eddie. 4th round – Team Galbos, EBittner, Gallagher and Messing survived a narrow margin of victory.
Oscoda, Michigan
September 16th–20th
Red Hawk
The Gailes
The Blackshire
Friday Morning Fishing
A quick visit to 2009 … as you recall, or don’t recall, we visited the shores of Lake Huron in the logging town of Oscoda, Michigan. We took in the Gailes and Red Hawk. While it is always a challenge to locate Michael, last year was especially tough … rumor has it, he was not there! But one would never know as the jokes kept flowing.
Thursday night, Belanger orchestrated a clam bake unlike any other … a 10 gallon pot of steamed clams, mussels, shrimp, onions, lemons, seasonings and whatever the hell else he had in there was simply outstanding … and to dump the entire contents onto the picnic table and just feed, was a special touch.
Team David, Jeffrey, Daniel and Johnny took the cup… and as I recall, Mr. Bittner took the trophy home … I mention this, so he can remember to bring it back!
Mr. Kunkel provided the evening entertainment each night … needless to say, by Sunday we had no bonfire furniture remaining.
Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club (27-Holes) – Albuquerque, New Mexico (Sandia Park)
September 15th–19th
Paako Ridge 2010. How do you follow an act like that? Another awe-inspiring weekend added to the famed chapters of Great8 tradition. The Sandia Mountains were certainly a vision of beauty and made up for some of the ugly “golf”. Our adobe castle accommodations sat high above the course and provided magnificent views of the Mountains.
Special kudos to Mr. Kunkel – he has again raised the breakfast bar … have griddle will travel … as Jeffrey boards a plane with breakfast griddle in hand, he wins this year’s Great8 MVP. His execution was flawless – bacon & eggs … banana, blueberry and strawberry flap jacks … breakfast burritos … yogurt, granola and fruit parfaïts? I was waiting for my pedicure!
Mr. Gallagher wins the come back player of the year award. Welcome back Michael – future leaves of absence will require advanced approval from the Commissioner.
Teams: Messings, Galbos, Hawkins & Belanger vs Bittner, Bittner, Kunkel and Gallagher. New format: 27 holes – 2 man best ball, 2 man scramble & 2 man alternate shot.
Day 1 Individual: Eddie and Dan pushed; Jeff edged Johnny 8 and 6; Dave slewed Rick 3 and 2; Mike teased Paul 7 and 6.
Day 2 Best Ball: Rick/Dan beat Dave/Jeff 2 and 1; Eddie/Mike beat Paul/John 2 and 1.
Day 2 Scramble: Mike/Dave beat Rick/John 2 up; Paul/Dan pushed Eddie/Jeff.
Day 2 Alternate Shot: Paul/Rick beat Mike/Jeff 1 up; Eddie/Dave beat Dan/John 5 and 4.
Day 3 Cha-Cha-Cha: Messing/Galbo/Belanger/Hawkins lost to Bittner/Kunkel/Gallicker/Bittner 162 to 140.
Mr. Gallagher as the leading money winner took the cup home.
Parkville, Missouri – The National and The Deuce Courses
September 21st–25th
2011 … seems like a long time ago. Is this because 2011 introduced the Great8 to their very first ever AARP turned 50 member? Thanks for leading the way David!
The Great8 ventured into the home of the National Club, where we played both the National and the Deuce courses. You don’t have to have psychic powers to know it was going to be another stellar Great 8 event when we all saw Mr. Kunkel arrive with his griddle in hand!
Speaking of dinners … we strayed a bit this year as we only “cooked” two of the evenings. We sampled some of the fine Kansas City BBQ at Oklahoma Joes and Jack Stacks.
Golf? Oh yeah … we went retro and reverted back to the legacy teams. Team “assholes” (you know who you are) dominated from start to finish and Mike, Dan, Eddie and John left without the Great8 cup.
Match 1: Dave and Jeff toyed with Mike and John before finishing them off 2 up. Paul and Rick completed a 2 up dusting of Eddie/Dan. Match 2: Paul and Dave relentlessly humbled Mike and Dan. Match 3: Dan and John lost their alternate shot event for the second straight year 2 up. Match 4: Paul teased Eddie 4 up; Galbos vs David all square; Mike and Jeff pushed; Dan defeated Hawk 3 up. Match 5 Cha Cha Cha: Team Dave/Rick/Jeff/Paul won by 6 strokes.
Congratulations to team David/Jeff/Rick/Paul.
Chicago, IL – Beverly Country Club and Harbor Side International
September 26th–30th
“Just One More” … The 2012 GR8 Summit challenged conventional wisdom. Michael was walking the line between generous and brave. He opened his door to his fellow Great 8ghters. The Detroit contingent went retro and arrived with cold Stroh’s in hand.
Thursday: We commenced to US Cellular field to watch the White Sox in their Playoff race. Friday: Beverly Country Club (founded 1908). Dan and Eddie took on Paul and Rick — rallied back and narrowly closed out the cousins 2 and 1. Meanwhile, Dave and Jeff deflated Michael and John. Saturday: We wore our colors proud at Beverly. The 4 man Cha Cha Cha came down to the last hole. Team Belanger, Bittner, Hawkins and Kunkel retained the Great8 cup!
Sunday evening: Michael invited us out on Lake Michigan for a brisk evening sail. Captain Kunkel proved you can do a 360 in a 32 foot yacht. Later, a ping pong tournament broke out — Hawkins survived Belanger in the finals under protest.
Gatlinburg Country Club, Pigeon Forge TN
Sequoyah National Golf Club, Whittier NC
River Island Golf Club, Kodiak TN
September 18th–22nd
And the Great8 keeps rolling! We flew into Knoxville and Mr. Bittner had the Great8 van fueled, stocked and waiting. We loaded up the truck and moved to Pigeon Forge in the heart of the Smokey Mountains! The cabin was large (slept 52), high in the mountains.
Jeff pointed out the woos, screeches and songs of the Red-necked Phalarope, Eastern Screech-Owl, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker … Who knew Jeff was quite the Ornithologist?
Friday: a thoroughly scenic ride through the mountains to Cherokee land at Whittier, North Carolina — Sequoyah National Golf Club, educated hole by hole on Cherokee Indian folklore.
We enjoyed some moonshine in the mountains! Hawk was dubbed “Midnight” after coaxing everyone to keep doing moonshine shots and then promptly passing out @ 8:00PM. Galbos was dubbed “Mayhem” after his decision to take on a giant boulder with our Great8 van.
Saturday at River Island Golf Club in Kodiak — the team of Gallagher, Galbos, Messing and Bittner were forced to play one more hole of cha cha cha in standing water and successfully secured 3 pars to swim away with victory! The cup belongs to Gallagher, Galbos, Messing and Bittner!
Gaylord, MI / “Hawkins Compound”
September 24th–28th
www.otsegoclub.com
www.treetops.com
www.blackforestgolf.com
We returned to our roots in Northern Michigan. Mr. Hawkins was nice enough (or stupid enough) to invite us to the Pam and Rick Hawkins Family Summer Camp in Gaylord, Michigan. Thanks Rick and Pam!
Upon arrival, we were all quick to learn that Rick lied about TV/Internet/Cable/Cell phone access – there was none! Commissioner Belanger hauled his seafood broil burner in from Chicago and we feasted on mussels, clams and shrimp.
Golf: we played three courses including the Tribute at the Otsego Club, Treetops, and Blackforest at Wilderness Valley. Unfortunately John could not participate as he injured some ribs the night before — taking the garbage out. We demonstrated our ornery impatience with slow play and executed a power pass through on carts!
Back at Camp Hawkins: kayak race, Paul tearing up the trails on Rick’s dirt bike in first gear, and cards against humanity. Rick introduced us to skunk removal under the shed.
John whipped up an Italian eight course meal — homemade spaghetti and meatballs, fresh garlic bread, grated parmesan — Mamma Mia! Che Bello!
Union Pier, MI / “Gallicker Summer House”
September 23rd–27th
www.lostdunes.com
www.golfwhittaker.com/
Memo from the front office informed the Great8 members that we would be heading to Chicago again and Michael would be hosting us at his new place. Hawk and Mess secured their non-refundable airline reservations to the windy city; only to find out we didn’t get the other memo! No worries, plans change.
I am still not sure where we went — officially referred to as Buffalo, Michigan? The sleeping arrangements were a little tight and Jeffrey spent the first night sleeping on the porch as the temperature dipped well below the comfort zone!
We had some challenges: Paul nursing a shoulder injury, David hampered by a bad knee, Dan with a dislocated finger, John recovering from injured ribs, Jeff had frostbite from the frigid night on the porch, Michael shrank, Eddie hurt his hair, and Hawk was the statuesque picture of health firing rounds of 76, 81, 78 and 80 – is the handicap committee listening?
The Great8 cup went to Dan. However, he pulled a fast one — dropped Rick off at home Sunday afternoon, doubled back and placed the cup strategically in Hawkins bushes.
Austin, TX
September 21st–25th
Avery Ranch Golf
Falconhead Golf
Austin Texas. Hawk and Mess were first to arrive, secured the silver bullet, picked up Jeff and loaded up on the local favorite – Lone Star Beer. We arrived to a wonderful house in steamy 90 degree weather.
Hawk was sensational on the grill. We took in local dining at “Lucy’s” and enjoyed the fried chicken and watermelon margaritas. We took a four hour pontoon ride on Lake Travis, piloted by Mr. Hawkins.
At Falconhead, they would not let us play the championship tees unless “we made our living playing golf”. We explained that’s us, and proceeded to spray balls all over the first tee.
The impromptu watermelon football game in the pool was the highlight! Paul earns the catch of the year award – caught on camera forever!

French Lick, Indiana – Replayed
Elk Ridge Ranch / Grand Lodge
September 13th–17th
Changing of the Guard – For the first time in 25 years we ‘welcomed’ a new member to the prestigious Great8 – Jack Scheible. We will all certainly miss John Galbos and hope he can make a cameo appearance some day.
A big French Lick welcome for our newest member. Let’s see how he fit in:
- As Dan and Rick arrive at Jack’s house at 7:00 am sharp Wednesday morning – Jack is nowhere to be found. He’s not even home! A Tesla flies up the driveway — “Glad you can join us — Are you Jack Scheible?”
- Upon arrival in French Lick, the rookie immediately takes the Master King Suite Penthouse bedroom on the top floor and the Great8 Commissioner and Veterans are stuck in bunk beds in the basement!
- Jack introduces us to Caber Toss! Why feed a fire with tiny logs, when you can Caber Toss an eight foot long caber on the fire all at once!
- Enjoying a friendly game of football toss – Jack says, “watch this” and heaves a monster throw over the peak of the large Elk Ridge cabin and lands it squarely in Belanger’s Scotch glass. The glass shatters and Paul is covered in Scotch!
- Jack resurrects a 35 year old feud by showing up with Superman and Batman head covers – and yes, Batman gives Superman strokes when they play.
Golf: The Cup remains with team David, Jeff, Paul and Rick. They got off to an early lead in all matches and never looked back. It was a spanking. Congrats to the 2017 Great8 cup winners!
Other Competitive Events:
GoLow – Eddie pulls off a miraculous come from behind victory! David places second and Dan shows in third.
Ping Pong – Mike and Dan manage to edge out Rick and Eddie after 5 long grueling matches.
Notable:
Special Thanks to Rick Hawkins as he organized a 25th anniversary awards presentation. A thank you to David as well for introducing an upgraded 25th anniversary Great8 logo. New Great8 swag – a hoodie, T shirt and hat!
We met golf pro Jeff Howerton at Sultan’s run – very friendly and we enjoyed his laid back sense of humor.
The stars at night – The star gazing was absolutely incredible.
Painesville, OH – Kodiak Falls Lodge
http://www.littlemountaincc.com/
http://www.fowlersmillgc.com/
Cleveland Replay: Accommodations were again remarkable. We stayed at Kodiak Falls Lodge – 40 acres of grounds, swimming hole, pool, hot tub, garage with ping pong, shuffle board, juke box, fire pit, etc.
Corn hole … 1st GR8 inaugural Cornhole tournament. Teams: Jack and Dan; Dave and Mike; Ed and Jeff; Rick and Paul. Mike and David dominated all week, until Rick and Paul upset them, then Ed and Jeff won the finals! Congrats to Ed and Jeff for the 1st GR8 corn hole champions.
Golf: Little Mountain on Thursday and Saturday, Fowler’s Mill on Friday. Thursday: Ed and Dan defeated Rick and Paul. Mike and Jack defeated Dave and Jeff. Friday: Jack beat Paul; Dan was smoked by Rick; Mike lost to Jeff (the only club working for Jeff was his 4 iron, so he put the rest of his bag away). Saturday Cha Cha Cha tied after 9 holes — settled with a cornhole playoff. Team David, Jeff, Paul and Rick declared the 2018 GR8 trophy winners!
Highlight: Jerry Buckley and John Erwin joined us and we took a road trip to Cleveland to take in the Elder vs Ignatius football game.
Food: Jeff spoiled us with Egg bake casserole, breakfast burritos, French toast. Rick mastered the grills. We broke a long running tradition and forfeited the ribs this year – replaced by Rick Hawkins’ spontaneous Chicken Pot Pie and stuffed peppers!
Roscommon, MI – Forest Dunes
6376 Forest Dunes Drive, Roscommon, MI 48653
Golf: http://www.forestdunesgolf.com
Played the Loop at Forest Dunes multiple times. Interesting paradigm as they alternate tee boxes for the same holes from day to day. Skeptical that the course may have been built on top of a manufactured trash heap as every time the ball landed it sounded like the beating of a drum. Mr. Krahtowell joined us and added to the entertainment and festivities. Woke up at 3:00 am and saw a green plastic lawn chair burning in the fire pit. Strong winds off the lake blew it directly into the fire pit.
Gaylord, MI – June 23–27 – Camp Hawkins
We changed our dates at the last minute to accommodate our Commissioner and Rick was brave enough to host us June 23rd thru June 27th. We played the Legend at Shanty Creek, the Lakes at the Loon Resort and the Monument at Boyne Mountain, back where it all started many moons ago. Extracurricular activities included Pickleball, “bouncing Cornhole”, Kayaking and several trips around the lake in a Pontoon boat. Several of us took our baths in Lake Hawkins, using a bottle of soap that came from an unhappy preacher who was a servant of God and an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on wrong doers. Where do you shop at Hawk?
Dallas, TX – October 5–9 – Fort Belanger
Paul was the brave one, hosting our 2022 event in McKinney Texas. Sarah was the smart one as she got out of Dodge. Mr. Krahtowell joined us again and was a huge help in planning and shopping and preparing dinners. Everybody contributed on meals, including Michael who grilled the Pineapple and didn’t let us forget. We spent most of our “indoor” time outside on Paul’s patio, taking in football games, cooking, eating, euchre and cornhole. We did a Seafood broil and it was fantastic. Paul smoked a Salmon and it was a big hit! We enjoyed Paul’s neighbors, including the “girlfriends” and Paul’s neighbor who educated us on the traditions of Texas A&M. We took in some Pickleball for a couple hours.
