oak hills news...  

Our golf shop gets calls asking for our golf rates. The spring and summer rates are in effect and not due to change until mid-November. Just as a reminder, since we have many golfers coming into the golf shop to purchase a bucket of balls for the practice range, we have a 10 Bucket Ticket available for sale. Frequent Player Card members would get an additional 10% savings. To view our prices click on Golf Rates

The 8:00 AM Saturday league, the Mihok Group - and 8:00 AM Sunday league, the Hardy Group - have grown and are currently accepting new members. We also have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday leagues. Please call our director of golf, Mike Sussman, for information about joining any of our leagues. Call (352) 683-6830.                                                                                    

This spring Barbara Dohm formed a women’s “9-Hole” league. This weekly league plays every Monday. The league tee's off at 8:59 AM during the summer months. In winter the tee time will change to 2 PM. Barbara would like members to show up 20 minutes before tee time. 

There are 15 members having various handicaps in this 9-hole league. More ladies are welcomed to join. If you'd like to join this 9-hole league call Barbara Dohm at (352) 596-9930. 

A note to all members; please call the pro shop or your team captain before your tee time if you are unable to play on league day. It is important your team captain be notified of your absence for setting up teams, cart count, etc. 

Oak Hills Golf Club discount coupons have been place around town at several restaurants and retailers. These coupons offer a 15% discount on a round of golf. Look for them around the neighborhood. Although you are not eligible to use this discount if you are a Frequent Player Card member, they may come in handy for summer visitors and relatives.

Mike Camunas, staff writer for the St. Petersburg Times, interviewed Mike Sussman in May about our 13th hole in his Signature Series. In case you missed "Take It Literal" click here!

the closing of 2 spring hill golf courses...

We were sorry to learn about the abrupt closing of Spring Hills Golf & Country Club and Seven Hills. We hope these sister courses are able to rebound and re-open soon. On the interim we welcome their patrons to Oak Hills Golf Club and will make it our business to make you feel at home!

a moment of glory...

We are proud to announce the names of three golfers who aced a hole here recently. Congratulations to Lee Booth, Jim Millsaps and Jim Laverde.

Lee Booth is a member of the Thursday's Wellington League. His hole-in-one happened on league day, May 14th at the 4th hole. His moment of glory took place from 143 yards using his 9 wood. 

Jim Millsaps aced the 4th hole on Saturday, June 6th. Jim used his 7-iron from 153 yard. 

And Jim Laverde's moment of glory happened on Monday, June 29th at the 11th hole were he teed off from 150 yards with his 3 Hybrid.

Nice work guys! You each will received our certificate of achievement from Oak Hills and your names have been added to our Hall Of Fame link. 

a memorial service for ron...

Family and friends will hold a service for the late Ron Biedenkapp at the 1st tee Ron Biedenkapp Memorial Stone2.JPG (235735 bytes) July 1st. A memorial plaque has been placed alongside the 1st tee box where Ron frequently teed-off during his many years of running the Wednesday and Friday golf leagues. He was also a member of the Oak Hills Golf Club staff for 20 years. Ron is surely missed by all those who knew him. 

The service will be attend by his loving wife, Kathleen, members of his family, his league members and many friends.RonBiedenkapp 2001.jpg (47149 bytes)

Ron, who passed away quite suddenly last December 23rd, was a retired captain of the New York City Fire Department. He was also an active member of Stage West Community Theater in Spring Hill for the last 20 years, where he will be remembered for his many performances. Photos of memorial in Photo Album.

annual outing...

Sunday, June 14th, the Oak Hills Unit #23 Home Owner's Association held its annual BBQ and Golf Outing at Oak Hills Golf Club. Over one hundred members of the Association attended the event.

Pit Boss Bar-B-Q catered the noon meal. The "best ball scramble" golf event followed with 39 residents participating. The BBQ and golf outing has been a very popular event. Each year it allows neighbors to establish and renew friendships. 

Several area restaurant gift certificates were awarded through a random drawing and winners included Pat and Ron Watson, Ryan Nicoll, David Green, Keenan Colburn, Ed Heckler, Rolande Jacques, Martha Bennett and Eve Cumming.

The golf committee for the “best ball scramble” created teams, with an emphasis on friendly socialization rather than winning. This year's best score (15 under par!) was recorded by Ryan Nicoll, Gary Nicoll and Steve Diaconta.

Everyone agreed the events of the day were successful. See photos from outing at Photo Album.
