CELEBRATING 23 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA Cincinnati Chapter - American Singles Golf Association - March 2015 Upcoming Social Events Mar 14 th Euchre at Ann s Mar 17 th Mingle at Macaroni Grill near Tri-County Guest Speaker Kelly Fegley Mar 21 st Harness Racing at Miami Valley Gaming Racino Highlights from Recent Events Music Hall Haunted Tour 9 of us attended the Music Hall Haunted Tour. There was a representative of the Music Hall that would give some history about each of the areas visited, along with a person that studied the paranormal activities and she would tell about the various haunted sightings in each room. I don t know if this was real or staged, but as we were on the freight elevator, it descended on its own without the key turned to run it. February Mingle We had 16 members and 3 guests attend the mingle this month. Andy Mason won split-the-pot. She claims it s the first time she has ever won. Bowling 7 people made it to the rescheduled bowling outing at Colerain Bowl at the end of February. First game was 3-6-9 where you automatically got a strike in the 3 rd, 6 th and 9 th frames. High score for women was Linda Bernhardt with a 192. High score for men was Rick Youngberg. The second game was 9-pin no-tap where you get a strike for a nine count. Leading the women was Pat Dixon with at 231 and Rick had high for the men. The last 2 games were regular bowling with Linda rolling a 236 in the last game. 2 new Meetup members joined in the games. Warm-up at Greenies 11 of us went to Greenies to warm up for the golf season on the indoor simulators. 2 groups played Torrey Pines and 1 group played Pebble Beach. MEETUP Info We have set up a Meetup.com site for the chapter. We are planning on using the site for notifications of monthly meetings, social events and golf outings for this year.
