OTF visits New Albany CC

The Ohio Turfgrass Foundation is conducting its annual scholarship and research fundraising golf tournament Sept. 26 at New Albany Country Club in New Albany, Ohio. New Albany Country Club is a 27-hole facility designed by Jack Nicklaus and is located 15 miles northeast of Columbus.

Superintendent Randy Kehres and his staff balance maintaining the aesthetic beauty of the course with its challenging layout that features the Rocky Fork Creek. NACC plays at 7,100 yards from the tips and has a slope rating of 126 from the championship tees.

The 2003 tournament, played at the Foxfire’s Players Club in Lockbourne, generated more than $11,000 for the OTF Scholarship and Research fund. Next to the OTF conference and show, the golf tournament generates the most non-dues revenue for OTF.

“We urge everyone to register as either an individual or team,” says OTF executive director Kevin Thompson. “It is a great way to build staff loyalty and to reward employees for their hard work, while supporting OTF.”
