Flint, MI — Fore Twenty Golf Club teed up its Summer Bash II marijuana show last Saturday, drawing a couple thousand marijuana enthusiasts from all over Michigan and the surrounding states to Flint’s Swartz Creek Golf Course. 

This is Fore Twenty Golf Club’s third event since its founding last year, and unlike the previous events, this one was not hindered by bad weather. Last year’s festival in the summer was cut short after a tornado touched down nearby, and the Connoisseur Cup last Fall was muddy after days of rain.

“Definitely heading in the right direction,” said Seth Conklin, the founder of Fore Twenty Golf Club. “I was like c’mon just give me good weather, and I know I’ll bang this out. Just give me good weather. And then finally, it happened.”

Flint rappers Tay Boogie and King Ca$hes performed along with Detroit rappers Skilla Baby and Sada Baby. Aside from the music, attendees enjoyed a host a marijuana products ranging from flower to baked goods infused with THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana, and THC concentrates, also known as dabs. Glass blowers like Ryan Hock showed up too. Hock started blowing glass a few years ago, and has since honed his craft with the help of a small group of fellow artists, he said. 

Rapper and enthusiasts who reserved golf carts, sped through the sprawling golf course while others like Betty Chronic, a medical marijuana patient in Michigan, outfitted her golf cart as a mobile THC concentrate station, handing out dabs to passersby.
