A small but lively group played the "hard" course at Kneiss Mini-Golf on Wednesday 8/27. The hard course is the one with moving parts, such as the rotating obstacles and ferris-style wheel. Lisa Schawalder took first place, Cheryl Needham was second, one stroke behind. After spending time in the "rough", Cheryl rallied with 2 aces in a row!
Refreshments followed at Hal's Bar and Grille.
What a wonderful time spent at the Ohio Valley Invitational hosted by the Cleveland & Canton Chapters. 60 golfers participated in a shamble format at Valley View Golf Course in Galion, Ohio. Fun course, beautiful weather, good food and prizes, too!
We stayed at the Best Western in Wooster (which does not rhyme with rooster) as it was ideally located between the 2 courses we played.
On our way home we spent the day at Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio. LPGA Legend and World Golf Hall of Famer Renee Powell greeted us warmly and welcomed us to the course her father built in the 1940s. Renee was the second Black player on the LPGA Tour. Bill Powell returned from WW2 and had nowhere to play golf due to racial discrimination, so he built his own place, putting the "fair" in fairway.
Look for this weekend event to appear on next year's calendar too!
