Q: Fast forward: how did Miles of Golf in Ann Arbor come about? I spent 10 years in New York City before getting back to Michigan where I purchased a beer distributorship in Cadillac. Mile: I went on to Columbia University where I earned my MBA. We played on the same team for four years. In fact, another high school golfer from Michigan also ended up at Miami, Jim Gittleman from Alma. I earned a college golf scholarship to the University of Miami (FL) and played for four years and was captain. Crazy about golf, I used to attend the Buick Open every year. Mile: I grew up in the little town of Stanton, MI, 50 miles northeast of Grand Rapids. Where did you grow up and get involved with golf? It was edited for length and clarity-Terry Moore Thousands of other golfers in Michigan surely feel the same. Knowing my game and my equipment were in a good place because of Miles of Golf, my return trip to Grand Rapids only seemed longer because I couldn’t wait to get on the golf course. At other times, I stopped to see the teachers at the Kendall Academy whenever my swing and ball flight went AWOL. Like many others, I was more than willing to drive several hours from Grand Rapids to be expertly fitted for equipment. Over the years, I’ve been a frequent visitor at the Ann Arbor facility.
Thoughtful and reserved and with a good sense of humor, Chris will deflect personal praise for the success of MOG, instead extolling the virtues of his partners and staff. With a keen business acumen, he built one of the most impressive golf facilities in Michigan, winning numerous awards for the various parts of MOG: range, retail and club-fitting. Over the years, road running and fitness became a new passion and pursuit but Chris never lost his enthusiasm for golf. He was twice a runner-up in the Michigan Amateur to two Michigan Golf Hall of Famers: losing in 1965 to Bud Stevens and again, thirty years later, in 1995 to Steve Maddalena. Many people forget what an accomplished golfer Chris was in his prime. My brother Tim, also a member of Blythefield at that time, also played golf with Chris on many occasions. He was a frequent playing partner of a mutual friend, Brent Rector, and the two of them won a number of Member-Guest Invitationals at Blythefield CC in Grand Rapids. Actually, I knew Chris even before he got involved with MOG. Only $200 + tax, with a 2 hour minimum.One of the sharpest people I’ve met in the golf business in my 40 years covering the game has been Chris Mile, the founder and President of Miles of Golf (MOG) in Ann Arbor and Cincinnati.
