Tanglewood National Golf Club hosted the Greater Cleveland Skins Game Thursday night, but not a skin was won.

Birdies were made on three of the nine holes, but each of those holes was tied out.

Six holes were open with no birdies made — including the two par-five holes. [Read more →]

A first-hand account that the NEOHgolf.com Classified Ads work: I sold my TaylorMade R7 driver last night to a gentleman I had never met prior to our transaction.

He now has the driver he’s been looking for, and I have money I can toss into the next big skins pot. Win-win.

The Lake Erie Golf Tour, a professional mini-tour tournament series with a separate amateur division, plays its first event of the 2012 season this Friday at Ohio Prestwick Country Club in Uniontown. Players interested in competing in that event (or the rest of the series) should review the Lake Erie Golf Tour website.

With the pressure of a double prize amount riding on the outcome after last week’s rain-out, and the challenging combined-aggregate-score format being played on the back nine, no team in the field really stepped up and grabbed victory by the throat in Week 2.1 of the Chippewa Monday Night Scratch League.

In their meeting Monday night, the Aurora City Council approved an agreement to use Ohio EPA taxpayer funds to give a whopping $3.9 million to current Aurora Golf Club owner Hunter Banbury, so together they can shut down the golf course and turn it into a park and river restoration project.

Even with the inflated $3.9 million dollar purchase price, Banbury still retains ownership of the 10 commercially-zoned acres around the clubhouse and its main buildings — a sweetheart deal by any definition. Banbury paid $2.5 million for the entire property in 2007.

So what, if anything, can still be done? [Read more →]

Pete Skirpstas and Jeremy King played flawless golf in the 2012 Turkeyfoot 2-Man Scramble

They shot a score that no one in the field would have predicted as the winning total before play began, maximizing every opportunity they had.

On a golf course with firm greens and difficult hole locations set near every edge and ridge that Charlie Mozingo could find, the pair shot a blazing 13-under par score of 58.

How ‘maximized’ was their round? [Read more →]

It was “old timers” night at Powderhorn Golf Course in Madison, and the seniors showed the young boys how to get the winning done.

Carl “Unc” Quercioli of Munson Township, who finished fourth on last year’s Leaderboard with a four-figure winnings total, captured the only skin on the night — and with it a giant payday. [Read more →]

Strongsville’s Jake Scott, a former Cleveland Amateur champion and now Elyria Country Club assistant pro, shot a bogey-free 6-under par score of 65 to pace a group of eight players who earned their way to Sectional Qualifying for the 2012 U.S. Open Championship. [Read more →]

It was an email break-up after an early April fling: sorry, it just didn’t work out.

Long time Chardon pro Dwayne Randall, who is now head professional at Peek-n-Peak Resort in western NY, received an email from The Big Break with the bad news last week that he had not made the final cut for the next installment of the golf reality TV show. [Read more →]

[UPDATE: as of Tuesday evening, 50 teams are already entered!]  The golf course played tough at the ADGA’s 2-Man Better Ball last Saturday, and the conditions for this coming Saturday’s 2-Man Scramble at Turkeyfoot Golf Links should be the same — maybe even more so! A couple days of rain with some sun and warmer temps should speed up the greens by this weekend. A big field is expected once again for Saturday’s 2012 Turkeyfoot 2-Man Scramble. Entry details here; entry deadline is this Thursday, May 10th at 9 pm. Watch NEOHgolf.com for starting times and results.

Due to some heavy rain and significant lightning at Chippewa on Monday, some of the teams who started were not able to finish Scratch League play. So the night’s event was canceled at 7:20p.

The entry fees paid in for Week 2 will carry-over; both the skins pot and the cash game from this washed-out week will be added in to the event next week Monday, May 14th. That means double-prize amounts from all three games will be riding next Monday! (Players who did not compete in the Week 2 event will have to pay double entry fees for Week 3 to participate.)

The league format for next Monday, May 14th: Combined Aggregate Score played on the back nine. Should be interesting…

The husband and wife team of Matt and Jennifer Creech, both PGA Members, carded 6 birdies and 2 bogeys to win the NOPGA Republic Services Pro-Pro Better Ball at the Firestone South Course on Monday.
