40 | OHCC LIVING | JULY 2019 | This month's column covers yet another very important element of the Golf Clubs many recurring events. Although there are many tournaments that are special, the generic Special Tournaments are offered monthly beginning in May through October each year and all use a Scramble Format. They are each chaired by club members and sponsored by different local groups that we are familiar with. Some of us euphemistically call them all our "Hot Dog Tournaments" because they often offer, you got it, a full hot dog meal following each of the two-day Monday/Tuesday events, however they may also offer a different type of sandwich plus snacks depending on the sponsor. Another special tournament event is listed as the Annual Match Play tournaments, which occur in the April/June period. These are held in honor of past golf luminaries Herb Stark (men's) and Doris Reid (ladies') and they are very popular. Another open variety that does not include your handicap is also offered for both men and women in September and the winner is crowned the Ocean Hills Golf Club Champion. These are some of my favorite golf outings because you make your own schedule with your opponent! Yet another annual special event is held in July and is called our Summer Tournament (another scramble format) concurrent with the annual Summer Party and the golfing year Dinner Dance. Not to be outdone the Ladies and Men groups in 2019 have each inaugurated what could prove to be an annual event called the Mother's Day (ladies) and Father's Day Golf Tournament (men) with yet a different format. Lots of fun! You might say that we have such a variety of different golf outings that it should be of interest to almost any golfer of any level of play. This is truly an active social club and one of the largest in Ocean Hills today. And why not? Good weather, good golf course, and good friends alike! Past issues of the OHCC Living have covered the Niners, the Touring Amateurs, and now the Special Tournaments. Future articles will cover some more of our golf outings offered such as the Guys and Dolls that are offered on selected weekends during the year. If you have a computer, you can follow all of the above events and schedules on the OHGC.COM web site. Have a great day on our lovely golfing venue! Golf Club
