Golf Course Is Local Historic Landmark

Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation has designated the Mt. Lebanon municipal golf course on Pine Avenue as a local historic landmark.

The course will celebrate its 100th anniversary July 7. A morning nine-hole Family and Friends golf event, which will include lunch and entertainment by the Center for Theater Arts and the Organ Grinder Man, costs $200 for a foursome.

An afternoon 18-hole event concludes with a cocktail reception, entertainment from Uptown Rhythm and Brass and a chance to meet Steelers great Rocky Bleier and his wife, Jan, who are chairpersons for the event. The afternoon event costs $400 per foursome, including the reception.

Admission to the reception only is $50 per person. Throughout the day, Mt. Lebanon's golf pro, Matt Kluck, will offer free clinics and sponsor Cleveland Golf will have a demonstration tent.

Community chairpersons for the event are Steve and Amelia Dean.

To register online, go to www.mtlebanon.org and click on "recreation" or pick up a form at the golf course, Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, library or municipal building.

9 hole course = yawn.

I wish Lebo had an 18 hole public course but the current course is already in a tight spot, not much room for expansion. 9 holes = too many beginners and slow play. I'm no Tiger woods but sometimes at Mt. Lebo I feel like I'm John Daley - minus the booze, cigarettes, and gambling of course.

I can't wait to participate in the event on July 7th. What a fantastic way to celebrate a wonderful piece of Mt. Lebanon history. The golf course is very playable for everyone in our community, including juniors, ladies and seniors. Some may not feel sufficeintly challenged by Mt Lebo. However, if you want to enjoy a round, see some old friends, and meet some new neighbors, head on up for 9. The event on the 7th looks like a great time. Many thanks are owed to Matt Kluck for being a great champion of this community asset.
