Amateur players in Northeast Ohio received some great news on this website in mid-December that the 2010 Ohio Amateur Golf Championship would be played at the challenging Kirtland Country Club in Willoughby on July 13th – 16th.

But the news gets even better: the local qualifying tournament for that Ohio Am will be played at a truly fun golf course, Elyria Country Club. (Youngstown Country Club will also host a qualifier, if you live in the east part of Northeast Ohio.)

Complete entry details for the Ohio Am won’t be available until March, so keep your eye on Northeast Ohio Golf for that information. You’ll need to get your entry in quickly; expect that qualifier to fill up fast…

A brand new look for the Northeast Ohio Golf website will launch in March of 2010! A slick new design with slick new features.

Get your business involved as a sponsor of the site and have your company’s ads built right in! Complete details can be seen on the 2010 NEOHgolf.com Advertising Page, with options starting at just $25!

In only a few months, we’ll be back to playing golf in the sunshine…

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.

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 →]
