Polar Bear Golf Open - Hosted by the Dublin AM Rotary
February 4, 2012

For 15 years golfers have been braving the cold to enjoy the chance to say they golfed in Ohio in February, and all for a good cause! The Polar Bear Golf Open, organized by Dublin AM Rotary, brings together golfers who enjoy a brisk round of golf, camaraderie, food and prizes. In the past, golfers have teed off in rain, snow, wind and, on occasion, warm sunny days!

I am one of the members of the Dublin AM Rotary who has braved the cold for the last 6 or 7 years - as the Photographer, not one of the Golfers. (that's not me on the right)

This year's event will be held at Safari Golf Club on Saturday, February 4, 2012 and precedes the Wendy's Chili Open that will be held across the street at The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Your Chili Open ticket includes:

· Food and spirited beverages

Hi Roberta, This is actually cool. Sorry, cold, lol. I have heard of these winter events but have to wonder how they find their ball. I would guess it would take a long time to play nine holes. Mostly looking for holes in the snow where the ball could have landed. I am sure there must be a way to do this but since I have never experienced it, my mind sort wandered into the abyss of possibilities, LMAO

Hi William. Yep - it's very cool and cold! Glad you got a good laugh! It is fun to watch them play, and they take it all very seriously, while having lots of fun and trying to stay warm. They actually do play for prizes, like golf clubs. The golfers use colored balls (I think they are like lightweight like tennis balls, but I can't remember what kind). All for a great cause!
