Michigan Golf Hall of Fame Inductees
Everett
Kircher
Musing one summer
about how to keep his ski resort employees occupied during the summer,
Kircher turned to golf. Just as he had hired Olympic gold medal winners to
head his ski schools at
Boyne
Mountain
and
Boyne
Highlands
, Kircher went for the top name in golf course architecture, Robert Trent
Jones. The renowned Heather Course, with its signature water-fronted 18th
green, which was Kirscher’s idea, triggered the
Northern Michigan
golf boom. Kircher, an outstanding sportsman, is regarded as the Godfather
of Michigan resort golf and
Boyne
is the largest family-owned golf operation in the game. He was elected to
the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame in 1989.
