LOCAL GOLF - Charity Golf, The IBH Charity Golf Outing

This week, members of the Rubber City Radio Group family played in a really nice local charity outing benefiting the Interval Brotherhood Home in Akron.

It was the organizations 26th annual outing raising money for a very worthwhile group that gives hope to those locally that have fallen victim to addictions. It helps them in many regards and attempts to get them back into the community. Very good work for local people that need it.

This opening was played at the wonderful Fairlawn Country Club in Fairlawn right off West Market Street. I've been driving past this golf course for 11 years, and finally got a chance to play it in this scramble event. What a great track, par 70, with 6 par 3's and some very challenging holes that make you play a bunch of different clubs in the bag. FCC of course, is private but does host some charity events along the way each year I would say if you ever get a chance to play here, take it. Really worth it.

Our threesome was myself from WQMX, Dan Deely from our Smooth station WNWV 107.3 The Wave, and one of our companies Vice-Presidents Nick Anthony. Of course, we had a great time on a perfect weather day. We shot about 6 under for the event, and was not among the top scorers. But that wasn't the goal, which was to have fun and support those worth supporting.

We would really like to thanks the IBH, and the terrific staff at the FCC for making us feel so welcome. We had a great time as the opening raised thousands of dollars for a worthy cause.

Thanks again. Hope to see you there again next year.
