| OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2026 | 37 Golf Club March is a lucky month because we are excited about the upcoming Club Championship for the golf club. Our last one was 2019. This format is a 36-hole two-day event where we will find the low gross Man and Woman to be our champions. We will also have other f lights with handicaps so many members can win net slots. A celebration dinner will follow dates are TBD based on our course. This month we are featuring Sally Palmer who moved to Ocean Hills in 1999. She started to play golf after work because it was free but didn't know what she was doing. She finally started taking lessons from Dori Orourke — and yes, she still goes to Dori who teaches her when her bad habits creep back into her game. Sally says the course was a lot easier many years ago and we did not have as many wonderful Lady golfers as we do today. Sally volunteered with the tournaments' luncheons, scoring and refreshments, etc., as it really helped her gain an appreciation for many aspects of our Golf Club in terms of awards and being involved. She was ace of the year 2004, 2006, 2019. Sally was also the ladies a f light match play champion in 2018 as well as the open match play champion, combining both men and women in 2012. Sally has had nine Holes in One! Sally was the December ace of the month for 2025. Sally thanks her lucky stars that she can still enjoy playing and OHCC is a terrific place to do that. Mike Stern has also been a five-time open champion, check out the plaques at the casa, so many golfers still very active up on those walls #golf history @ OHCC. Doris Reid, the founder of tournaments, was 100 yrs old in 2019 where this picture was featured in OHCC magazine. Upcoming Guys and Dolls are March 14 and Touring Amateurs is April 13 at Native Oaks.
