Category: Central Ohio golf

I declare golf season started in Central Ohio. Although I played last Wednesday, today was truly the start of warmer weather. Bridgeview was not officially open and the course was in rough shape, but it was still golf. How about another round tomorrow?

I was even par through 6 holes but should’ve eaten lunch beforehand as I ran out of gas over last 3 holes.

The finishing hole at Granville Golf Course – 125 foot drop from tee to green

Here’s one of my favorite finishing holes in central Ohio. This is the 18th at Granville Golf Course. Not only is it a beautiful hole but it has treated me well in years past – I’ll forgive the 18th for my most recent score, however. Is there any possible way to improve upon such a great finishing hole?

Well, believe it or not, there is. In fact, if you look closely, a lone bagpiper is standing next to the bunkers on the right.

Jeff Linn, The Highland Piper

Jeff was so kind as to let me take a video as he performed. Imagine being on top of the tee, several hundred yards away, and hearing that in the distance. Very inspiring. My thanks to Bill for hiring Jeff for the outing.

You can contact Jeff for your own outing or other event at www.bagpiper-jefflinn.com.

See ya next year!

Jeff Linn performs Amazing Grace

I used to attend Liberty Presbyterian Church before they built the huge church barn. Once or twice a year, David Redding would have about a half dozen bagpipers come into the church and fill it with music. You talk about inspiring. That music used to cut right through me. Amazing Grace was usually one of the songs on tap. Jeff was kind enough to take a request.

Par 4 second hole at Kyber Run Golf Course

I took a few photos while out at Kyber Run Golf Course. This is truly fall golf heaven as it was only $13 to walk 18 holes, a beautiful fall day, and I was at a really nice course.

Purchase the promotion for $75 and receive 1/2 price greens fees.
