Fantastic end of September weather enhanced the Stay & Play at the Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, WV. LPGA Cleveland and Canton members finished out the 2025 golf reason. A total of 24 members and guests enjoyed the courses, laughs, food, camaraderie and housing. Rain prior to our arrival made the courses really wet and added to the challenges of the WV rolling hills and hollers.
