[BOA vs. LACES]

I have the sketchers BOA equivalent.  The boa works fine.   The inside of the shoes are getting a little worn, but the mechanism works great and I really like the concept.  The little center plugs come out and I've lost one, but that doesn't affect functionality.

[Who has dealt with either tennis or golfer's elbow?]

I've battled golfers elbow for a while.   I use KT Tape to support the elbow and have not have an acute problem since.   I usually put it on and leave it on for a couple of days.   Only problem is that with an elbow you need someone to put it on for you.

[Upper Peninsula Michigan Golf Course]

Try the Newberry GC if you're in that area.  Not long by any stretch, but there are some interesting holes.
