O-H...I-O

by: Stephanie Jennings

If you're from the great state of Ohio, and/or a fan of the state's greatest collegiate football team, O-H-I-O is the chant used by all who support the Buckeyes. For the Columbus, OH Scramble team of Gibson, Roof, Fenneman & Malloy, O-H-I-O will be the chant for them and Chapter mate, Deb Ballam as they represent their Chapter and the Ohio Valley Semi-Final District in Aloha, OR at the EWGA Championship Finals.

Played on the North and West courses of the Golf Center at Kings Island in Mason, OH, the EWGA Ohio Valley Semi-Final Championship brought out the best in many of it's competitors. This was the case for Deb Ballam, who just a few days prior to the Semi-Final, in a practice round at the Golf Center, scored a 96. She definitely did her homework and came ready to play as she shot a spectacular 87 to take the overall title in the Ohio Valley.

Another great story of the Ohio Valley was that of Melaney and Holley Brockman. This mother-daughter pair was a visual example of what the EWGA can do for women from Baby Boomers to Gen X'ers. Melaney introduced Holly to the Central Indiana Chapter where Holly has been given the task to recruit her friends and others who are just begining their post-college careers and could benefit from the community of the EWGA. Holly who was a collegiate golfer is grateful that she has found this community of female golfers who share her passion for this great game. She and Melaney look forward to making the trek to Aloha, OR and hope to represent Central Indiana to the fullest.
