Golf courses remain open through the winter season and many report golfers taking advantage of the weather when snow isn’t on the ground.
While winter takes over Ohio, plans for the upcoming golf season continue with events and announcements for clinics, tournaments and outings.
Ohio Girls Golf Foundation
The OGGF has announced the High School Showcase at Avon Oaks Country Club on July 3. Leading up to the summer tournaments, the OGGF is hosting a series of winter clinics at 1899 Indoor Golf in Canton, The Clubhouse in Beachwood, The Golf Dome in Chagrin Falls and at Judd’s Golf Sim in Avon.
The clinics are open for girls 8 to 18 of all skill levels. Register online at NOPGAJR.bluegolf.com.
Advocating for girls golf, the OGGF provides eight $1,000 foundation scholarships each season at the showcase.
To apply by the March 31 deadline, go to the Ohio Girls Golf Foundation website and complete the form. Girls must be a permanent resident of Ohio, compete in high school golf or local tournaments and demonstrate a financial need.
