Roll Call: Ohio (OATW adjacent) and localized ice cream debates (Part 1)

15 min walk or drive? If driving, where are you staying?

Either way, you need to book right now if you want a morning tee time. Here are the links to city and county courses.

I did a trip down there last year and really enjoyed Stonelick Hills. A bit outside of town though, iir.

first round in a month, smooth 73 at Zoar

Zoar isn’t too bad. Just a bit bland. But decent, solid. I asked about it and played it for the first time earlier this summer.

15 minute drive to GABP from where you’re staying? I assume that means you’re staying in the Norwood, Hyde Park or Oakley area?

I won’t echo the options others have already said, as they’re all great. I’d also add Blue Ash Golf Course to the list. It’s my second favorite public course in the city behind Stonelick, and assuming you’re in the Norwood or Oakley area, it’s only 10-15 minutes north.

Got out to play Westfield South in a NOGA net event yesteday. Results aside (net 73 wasn’t getting it done, but the skin was a nice consolation), I had a great time on the course. Absolute perfect conditioning. Rough was lush, greens were perfect, fairways were a little soft but there was rain the night before so they couldn’t mow everywhere I think.

The course does a great job screwing with your eye line, especially on par 3s. You really have to trust your number and commit. Spatial recognition was tough out there sometimes. Its really refreshing to hit putts and have them go exactly where you want them to though because the greens are just that pure. Can get in some gnarly spots without knowing exactly were to miss on a green though.

My playing partners told me about the renovation and that they didn’t like the course as much with the rebuild and tree removal, but without a comparison I was able to enjoy it fully. Also, I was the only one in the event to walk. With carts on the path I was not about to ride and have to hoof it across those fariways anyway, so I had to show out for PCM.

What NEO guys are going down to Cincy 4-Way? I know myself and @MDM are making the trip and was interested to see if anyone else was going and if so possibly coordinating a carpool/lodging consortium. We can’t swing the Sunday round but were also thinking about a Sat morning round before heading over to the LPGA tourney - suggestions welcome

I was so gutted to miss this. Hat tip for repping the PCM. I wish NOGA did more to promote walking. I imagine their hands are somewhat tied—the host clubs probably won’t allow them to cut walkers a price break. But, I think governing local associations should in general be pro-walking.

Avon or Devou.

I know I’m in the minority, but I like Devou better.

Playing Eaglesticks on Friday early at 7- Anyone been out this year? We both haven’t played it in 2 years.

So far in great shape. Hole 3

Sloppy 40 on front. Made 2 mistakes but haven’t played golf since early June so I’ll use that excuse.

Hey Cleveland area folks: I have a 9 hole foursome rain check at Sleepy Hollow I am more than likely not going to be able to use this year. Slide into the ol DMs if you can make use of this. $76 value, willing to deal. Just don’t want it to go to waste.

How does this not go in for eagle?

Lacked pop. Can’t roll.

Glad you enjoyed ES. And glad to hear ES is still doing well.

It came from other side from 130. Some of the bunkers were in bad shape, washed out it looked like but greens were running great. Well worth the 20 hot deal off of Golfnow.

Hey ya’ll…

I’m driving out to play Sleepy Hollow this Sunday and since I am not often around the area, making a day of golf out of it and booked a tee time at Kiki too. Booked a foursome at 2:30PM for this upcoming Sunday. Let me know if you’re interested in joining.

Anyone in the Columbus area want to play tomorrow after lunch? Was thinking Champions, but I’m flexible

FYI you may want to take a drop from the rocky bunkers at champions. This happened today
