Happy Thanksgiving Golfaholics
The end of November normally brings snow and cold weather to Northern Ohio, which puts a damper on the golf season. It’s time to think about planning that golf trip to Florida, Arizona or points south. This month in Ohio Golf Journal we talk about the benefits of short golf courses. We golfers sometimes get […]
June is a Busy Month for Golf in Ohio
As the calendar turns to June, golf season swings into high gear in Ohio. Another Memorial Tournament is history and the U.S. Open will be contested at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island.

Spring has Finally Arrived!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow…….
In January, most of Northern Michigan is covered in a blanket of snow. Skiers and snowmobilers, rather than golfers, are busily playing in the fluffy white stuff. It may seem like an odd time to feature Boyne Golf Resort, nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan, on the cover of a golf magazine, But it’s […]
Winter is Rapidly Approaching
Here we are in the next to last month of 2017. Cold weather will soon prevent any golf action in Ohio, but Golfaholics will be thinking about heading to warmer climes to pursue Birdies and Pars. We want to welcome the members of the Miami Valley Golf Association to Ohio Golf Journal. We hope you […]
October is a Great Month to Play Golf in Ohio
October is one of my favorite months to play golf in Ohio. The brightly colored leaves contrast the verdant green grass to create pleasing vista to the eye. The weather is normally cooler and accommodates a light sweater or jacket. With a full summer of preparation and less play after Labor Day, courses are usually […]
