The Golf Classic — Presented by Niagara Bottling
Stepping Stones and event chair Steve Mennen invite you to The Golf Classic, presented by Niagara Bottling. The 18th annual event will be held Monday, June 10 at the scenic O’Bannon Creek Golf Club in Loveland, Ohio.
The Golf Classic raises funds to support year-round programs for children, teens and adults with disabilities. Tee off in a morning or afternoon flight and enjoy a beautiful summer day of golf, great food, refreshing drinks and exciting hole challenges.
Following the afternoon flight, golfers will relax in the club house with a seated awards banquet featuring prize announcements for top golfers and the day’s winning teams.
Compete for Luxury Prizes
On the course, all golfers will have the chance to win luxury prizes. Courtesy of Jaguar & Land Rover Cincinnati, compete in the Closest-to-the-Pin challenge at hole 12 to win $1,000 cash and a weekend Jaguar lease. Jeweler Richter & Phillips will also be hosting a hole-in-one opportunity at hole 7 for a golfer to win a $5,000 voucher for a gentlemen’s or ladies’ Rolex. If there is no hole-in-one, the golfer closest-to-the-pin will receive a $200 gift certificate.
