Warm weather gives Ohio golf season a jump start

Columbus weather forecasters were wrong yet again. Having earlier predicted a 40% chance of rain for today, it turned out sunny with highs in the lower 50’s in central Ohio. Despite the wet conditions resulting from melted snow and additional rain, I braved the elements to go play some golf on the first day of Spring. Bridgeview golf course is still closed until next week so I headed out to Minerva Lake Golf Course.

Conditions weren’t too bad. On a few holes, it was particularly soppy and muddy but overall it was much drier than expected. The greens are still in horrible shape however. But for 12 bucks, it wasn’t a bad deal.

Fall golf heaven at Kyber Run Golf Course

I had an urge to go somewhere that I hadn’t been to in quite some time, and I ended up at Kyber Run Golf Course in Johnstown, Ohio. I hadn’t been to the Run since July 2002. Ouch! Well, I was finally back and eager to see what had transpired in the last six years.

I entered the clubhouse and indicated that I wanted to walk 18. Imagine my surprise and extreme joy when I heard, “That will be 13 dollars.” I had found fall golf heaven at Kyber Run.
