Greetings to all of you Akron area golfers, and get ready for a great 2010 season! We’ve been working hard over the past few months to put together a schedule that promises to be our best yet!

While we have several notable changes for the 2010 season, we’re most proud to be returning to Firestone Country Club for our crown jewel tournament, the InfoCision Golfer of the Year Invitational.

Other key changes for 2010 include: [Read more →]

Thank you to everyone who played last year! We are less than seven weeks away from our first event.  Most of the snow will be melting this week, so this will give everyone the opportunity to start thinking more and more about golf. [Read more →]

2010 looks like a great year for the Championship Golf Association! With new members already registered and some new courses on the schedule at discounted rates (like Tanglewood National, a course Fuzzy Zoeller once remarked was ready to host the US Open, and the Devlin Course at Quail Hollow, the host course of the Ohio Open), it is truly an “Open” season.

It’s hard to believe, but our inaugural event of The Medalist Tour will take place next month!  We are now excepting entries for all tournaments, including our kick-off pro-am. [Read more →]

Even more additions have been made to the 2010 Northeast Ohio Golf Tournament Calendar! Events from the Cleveland Metroparks Spring and Fall Tours, plus all of the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championships, plus the events from the Ohio Golf Tour are now posted. Check it out.

The Northeast Ohio Golf website sent too many players to The Medalist Tour website to sign up for a free 2010 membership (see story below). So for a couple more days players get a second chance!

Originally, director Mike Hastings said the first 100 players who signed up for The Medalist Tour would not have to pay the 2010 membership fee of $75 for ams and/or $195 for pros.

But since NEOHgolf.com readers pushed the number past 100 by the middle of Christmas Day (just a day-and-a-half after posting the story!), Mike has decided that every player who registers at The Medalist Tour website by the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve gets the same deal!

Don’t get shut out because this deadline won’t be extended again. If you want to be a 2010 Medalist Tour member and save yourself some cash in the process, you have until December 31st at midnight to register here…

A brand new professional / amateur golf tour is launching in Northeast Ohio in 2010, featuring 20 events played at some of the area’s best golf courses on weekdays throughout the summer.

(And as a “sneak preview bonus”, Northeast Ohio Golf readers have a chance to save some money by becoming a member FOR FREE — so keep reading!)

Local senior professional Mike Hastings is launching The Medalist Tour in May 2010, and he already has dates secured at the golf courses you’d expect to see on the schedule (see NEOHgolf.com’s Tournament Calendar for the complete list).     [Read more →]

Although not yet officially announced by the OGA, the 2010 Ohio Amateur Championship will be played in the Cleveland area: the beautiful and challenging Kirtland Country Club in Willoughby on July 13th – 16th.

Watch Northeast Ohio Golf for details and an entry blank in the spring…

The “Golf Galaxy Tour” will be played again in 2010, but no longer with Golf Galaxy as their title sponsor.

This national group of local amateur golf events is changing its retail sponsor (now working with Austads) and the tour name for each region to focus on the local city (so instead of the Golf Galaxy tour, it will now be called the Ohio Golf Tour).

All tours will still be managed by GOLF CONNECT through its national office, and will still conduct a national championship.

The 2010 Ohio Golf Tour will feature lower entry fee and membership rates and a new prize pool structure. Details posted at OhioGolfTour.com
