                        Wednesday, June 14, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 125th 
Anniversary of Les Cheneaux Golf Club in Cedarville, Michigan. 
Established in 1898, the Les Cheneaux Club began as a modest operation 
that quickly developed into one of Michigan's premier golfing venues. 
Resting on the previous homestead of devout Jesuit, Andrew Piret, Les 
Cheneaux Golf Club is rich in local history and has endured immense 
changes throughout its storied past.
  Beginning as a dually developed course by W.M. Derby and W.H. 
Crawford, the location opened in May of 1898 and was soon redesigned in 
the early 1900's to meet the demand of evolving players and the 
surrounding community. Following the innate flow of the land, the 
design of the course utilizes natural obstacles to provide a classic 
and enjoyable experience to the player. Playing a round at the Les 
Cheneaux Golf Club allows for someone to walk through local history 
while engaging with one of Michigan's most beautiful and significant 
courses.
  Acting as an outlet for youth development, Les Cheneaux Golf Club 
also offers a plethora of camps and classes which mold future golfers 
and create upstanding individuals, both on and off of the course. The 
club has continually worked to improve the local community and they 
deserve our utmost respect for being one of Michigan's oldest and 
continually played courses.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Les Cheneaux Golf Club for 
125 years of continuous operation and for becoming an historical 
centerpiece of Michigan. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I wish 
the club, its staff, and the local community the best in their future 
endeavors.
