Friday, June 9, 1:00 p.m.
Beverage Cart Sponsored by Faegre Baker Daniels
Golf Holes Sponsored by Schafer and Weiner, PLLC and Steinberg Shapiro & Clark
Spruce Run, Grand Traverse Resort and Spa’s original resort course, was given the name in 1992 as a reflection of the numerous fir and spruce trees that line its fairways and undulating greens. More forgiving than The Bear, Spruce Run is fun to play, yet still retains some of the challenge it was renowned for when it was the venue for the Michigan Open. It winds among the rolling hills surrounding the Hotel overlooking East Grand Traverse Bay. Water comes into play on 13 holes, and the 8th hole is the only hole on the course with no bunkers. The $150 fee for golf includes green fee and cart, box lunch and beverage, and prizes. Please mark the appropriate box on the registration form to play, and indicate your handicap.

A professional colleague is defined as someone who consults with or is employed by an organization whose members are eligible for ABI membership. If a professional colleague is found to be registered as a guest, ABI reserves the right to cancel his or her event registration.
