2018 GT Fred Tee Open: Barry won with a 75. The club is instituting a new golf handicapping system as members are starting to shoot lower than their age. Take your age, subtract it from Norm’s score (99), divide by 1, multiply by 1 and then add your age. This is your new score. Congrats Barry!
2018 Cincinnati Dental Society 5k Walk/ Run “ Leave no Vet Behind” It’s always good to get out in support all of our Vets. No world records were set, but in the side race between John John and Abraham Kiptum, John John turned on the afterburners and was able to hold off the end push by Abraham, claiming the victory. Thanks to all in attendance, to the Dental Society and to Ken Brandt for sponsoring.
2018 Cinti fire dept/ 2nd street saloon pub crawl: 911Steel was on full display and looked great in the night lights, especially as certain members were shooting Fireball’s. Special thanks to all who came out to support the MDA and the Fill the Boot drive.
2018 GT Golden Ball : What else can you say about this club? 50 years young and still showing off. A huge thanks to everyone who came out. Kathy “hippy” Gambil represented all those who used to hang around the fire pit when the meetings were at the Grove and won the best dressed female. In true hippy fashion, she shared her prize with everyone. Tom “Elvis” Ashpaw left the building with the win for best dressed male. In the dance competition, Tim and Marty Burke, won by a slight margin to Arnie and Kathy Ashpaw. I’ve heard it my whole life and said it many times…A GOODTIME WAS HAD BY ALL.
