Every Hole @ O'Bannon Creek Golf Club was a Par Three Friday, June 7th!

O'Bannon Creek Golf Club's Friday Night Couple's Group was surprised to find the front nine holes of their golf course transformed to a Par Three Course Friday June 7th!  No more long par 4's and par 5's, and even the par 3's were shortened.  What fun!

Two men negotiated the Par Three course in even par, 27.  Ben Basone and Joe Herzog apparently really liked the course set up!  Dave Forsthoefel, Wayne Stokes, and Steve Bunn were right behind at 28.

Bridgett Funk and Eve Enders shot 34, followed by Cher Van Houten at 35.

Golf was followed by a great buffet dinner in the clubhouse and several adult beverages.  A good time was had by all, maybe too good a time by your's truly, but that too would pass.

The next Friday Night Couple's event at O'Bannon Creek Golf Club, Loveland, OH, is scheduled for Friday, June 21st.  Event will be a fun scramble, format yet to be determined.

Four Teams Tie for 1st Place in Best Ball Competition @ O'Bannon Creek Golf Club

Last night was a really nice evening to play golf.  Thanks to the 8 groups of couple;s who came out to play at O'Bannon Creek Golf Club.  

The format last night was two best balls of the foursome, 1 for the ladies, 1 for the men.  Four teams came in with net scores of 62, Gennaro/Knodle, Miller/Paul, Forsthoefel/Garrison, and Van Houten/Trame.  Congratulations to the winning teams and apologies to my team of Kathy Shaut, Walt Wurster, and Kathy Pare.  I thought we were also in with a 62 but upon further auditing of the scores today, turns out our team came in with a 64, putting us alone in second place.  The winning couples won $15 of Pro Shop credit for their effort last night.  

What about those Knodle's--two events, two wins!  Not sure rookie league members are supposed to be winning all the time.  Congrats Bob and Anne!

Everyone stayed for dinner last night which was nice to see, and most of us were still around until all the teams came in.  

Our next event is scheduled for Friday, June 7th.  Every hole will be a Par 3!  I expect this to be a fun event, and am going to make this a shotgun start, 5:30 PM.  Moe has agreed to do a buffet for us that night since we will all be finishing around the same time.  So far I've heard from the following couples who won't be able to play:  Paul's, Pare's, Gennaro's.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you won't be able to play.  I'm planning to invite some other couples who aren't in the league to join us that night but want to get a head count of league members before extending invitations to others.  

Thanks, everyone, for your participation so far this year.  Seems like everyone is having a good time on Friday nights, and that is what it is all about.
