The Closest to the Pin/Hole in One Contest was a huge success. THANK YOU to all who participated. Winners were: 1st Day- John Donofrio, 2nd Day- Don Tucci. We will be continuing the Closest to the Pin/Hole in One Contests on the Holiday weekends of July 4th, and Labor Day. We deeply thank those who donated their time for the Memorial Day event:
Bob & Lottie Sponseller (both days) Jim & Shirley Wilson Paul Wood
Sandy & Gary Schmucker Rich & MaryAnn Campitelli
Volunteers are needed to donate their time for these contests. A sign up sheet for upcoming contests will be located in the Clubhouse a few weeks before each holiday. Volunteer signup sheets for other projects are in the clubhouse for those desiring to help. Please give a few hours of your time.
Couples Scramble – June 13th. Signup sheet is posted in clubhouse or please contact Sam Brown for further info @330-863-0181. Prize money will be determined by total number of entrants. We still have unfilled couple openings. Teams will be determined by a blind draw a few days before the scramble.
4 Person Scramble held Saturday May 16th. We had an excellent turnout of 26 golfers which were split into 7 teams. The team captained by Sam Brown won 1st place with a 3 under par 57. Following closely behind, the Doug Pool team with a 59 was 2nd and Norm Mankins team at even par was 3rd. Prize money for the skins pot was distributed among four teams. The raffle of the two prize bags donated by KISHMAN’S IGA was won by Patsy Lewis and Carolyn Cooper. Thanks to Ethel Morrison for her delicious pasta salad and to Bill Mackintosh for providing the donation from Kishman’s IGA. A GOOD time was had by all.
Join us for our next scramble.(See Above)

We have implemented our plan to increase the compliance of our HONOR SYSTEM of paying for green/trail fees when the clubhouse is unattended. The Honor System envelopes have been changed to make it easier to identify those who are less than honest. All those using the Honor System must fill out the info requested on each envelope and place the appropriate amount of money in said envelope. The envelope will then be sealed and deposited in the slot above the scorecard/envelope box. Golfers will find a receipt enclosed in the envelope as a means of proof of payment. Please keep receipt with you during your play that day. Ignorance of the need to pay before you play is not a valid excuse.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE HONOR SYSTEM RULES COULD RESULT IN:
EMBARASSMENT, EVICTION FROM THE COURSE, AND POSSIBLY WORSE!
The Golf Club Thanks you for your anticipated honesty.
We have also implemented the use of a Course Ranger at various times and days. He is checking for those who have not paid their green fees and /or trail fee for non member carts. He also monitors the course for groups of golfers in excess of 4 and divides them (if the need arises) as conditions dictate. We have attempted to make the Club rules more visible (new signs, on the score cards, etc.). Remember the $ 4.00 non member cart fee, starting your round on hole #1, and signing in if the clubhouse is open. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
The GOLF CLUB Clubhouse rental is $100, payable at time of reservation. $50 + $50 deposit (refundable if clubhouse left in good condition). This is not an increase in the cost, but rather a way to recoup damages or cleanup costs caused by renting party. The Golf Clubhouse is available for rental all year long. Keep us in mind for parties, family reunions, holiday events, etc.
JUNE MEETING - JUNE 10TH 6:00 PM AT THE GOLF CLUBHOUSE
JULY MEETING – JULY 8TH ( Same time, Same place)
PLEASE PATRONIZE ALL OUR SPONSORS AND DONORS
This is YOUR Club – It will only be as good as YOU help to make it
