TEE INFORMATION

It’s my annual plea to you — the reader — of this column for help throughout the spring and summer months.

This column has become a staple of our spring and summer Sunday editions.

I get a lot of results from different leagues, tournaments and junior events as well as scramble listings. Anytime you have an event, an ace, know of someone from the Ohio Valley working or shining in golf outside of the area, feel free to drop me a line. If you’re hosting an event,

I’d love to promote it. If you played a fabulous course with a group of buddies at Myrtle Beach, overseas, out west, let me know. Could make a good feature.

othing is off limits if it’s local golf related.

Anyway, Off the Tee is back and will be a weekly fixture from now until through Labor Day, which will be here before we know it.

My email is at the bottom of this column. I can also be reached on Twitter (@TLSportsSeth) or even on Facebook (just search my name).
