Let’s PLAY Golf!! Golf is in Full Swing in the Buckeye State. U.S. Open Qualifiers, collegiate seasons wrap up and with the school year over, junior golfers will compete in summer golf leagues. Speaking of golf leagues, if you want to play a little more golf, but can never find the time, maybe you should commit to a golf league that forces you to get in one round every week. You can make some new friends, plus enjoy a cold one, or two after your round. Playing in a golf league is good exercise, gets you away from the stress of work. It is also a respite from home duties and can be good for you mentally, as well as physically. Nearly every course hosts golf leagues and will be happy to help you find one that is right for you. In this issue we feature Ohio colleges and how they fared in the NCAA Golf Championships. We should be very proud of our collegiate golfers around the state as several schools performed well in the NCAA Tournament. The U.S. Open will be held at historic L.A. Country Club and Ed Schmidt gives us some background. If you are thinking about a golf trip this summer, Len Ziehm writes about three resorts in the Poconos that would be just right for your next golf adventure. Mike May also tells us about a few courses in the Georgia Mountains that offer cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery. If you are heading up I-75 through Michigan, stop by The Dream and The Nightmare near West Branch. We love both courses and their greens fees won’t break your piggy bank. I hope you are able to participate in a couple of golf outings this summer. Every year golf outings generate over $4 billion for charities across the country. Do your part, grab your favorite foursome and enter an outing, or two this summer. Maybe I will see you on the Back 9 at the Aurora House, or Maumee Chamber Outings this month.
