Northern Ohio Chapters Showdown Golf Scramble – North Shore Chapter Takes The Win!

Organized by Ryan Olinger, former Northern Ohio Regional Training Center Apprentice Instructor, one hundred people, including 88 golfers, participated in the Northern Ohio Chapters Showdown Golf Scramble over the weekend. The scramble took place at the Mayfair Country Club in Uniontown, Ohio and beautiful, sunny weather made for a great day of golf! The scramble was a competition between the Northeast Chapter and the North Shore Chapter, with the North Shore Chapter ultimately taking home victory.

The scramble was used to raise money for a Tool Scholarship that will help multiple apprentices that may need a little help acquiring some of the necessary tools to work in the trade.

“It was a great day and I’d like to thank everyone who came out to golf or volunteer and help us get members of the industry together, including a huge thank you to all of the people who generously donated to make the event a big success. It’s so important that we make and maintain these relationships because we’re all in this together. This is how we continue to improve and expand the masonry industry. I’m looking forward to growing the event to include building designers next year!” said Ryan Olinger, organizer of the scramble and former Northern Ohio Regional Training Center Apprentice Instructor. Olinger now works at Tucker Supply, a sponsor of the event.
