Northern Panhandle of West Virginia

I'm your host, Jeff Hartman, as we continue to look at courses that I've played some frequently, some not so much, but courses that I've played that I wanted to review and just put it out there.

You know, you never know when you're going to be in the area, in whatever area I'm typically in Western Maryland, going into central Maryland, also back in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, where I grew up.

And that's exactly where we're headed for this course review.

I realized the other day when I was thinking about which course I was going to review next, that I had done the two big courses in the Oglebay Golf Resort, the Robert Trent Jones design, as well as the Arnold Palmer design.

And that is going to be what this offers.

The footprint, Western Ontario, Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, Northern Kentucky, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Wisconsin.

Sign me up.

I'm ready to go.

Now, Hughes says it looks like that West Virginia will be able to handle the rain if it stays on its current track.

U.S. Attorney for Northern West Virginia, Matt Harvey, says financial fraud is no game

gameHarvey got a guilty plea from former college basketball player Kirk Crisa Thursday.

Crisa, who spent a year at WVU, defrauded a few people out of millions of dollars, making up things he needed money for.

Born in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, the heart of coal mining and steel making country.

You look at how many great football players have come out of the area where I was born and raised, Western Pennsylvania, Northern Panhandle, West Virginia, and even into Eastern Ohio.

And you think about the era when these great players we've seen over the years were growing up.

There weren't a whole lot of options.

Uh, I'm a first-time caller, and I only recently came across your shows, but you sound just like the kind of people I'd like to share an experience with that completely blew my mind, and I guess it kinda changed my entire outlook [laughs] on our world and what's in it.

Uh, this story takes place in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia in the July of 2005.

Uh, my cousin, his girlfriend, and another friend of ours decided to go camping, uh, together on my uncle's property before we all got split up due to, you know, me going to college and getting jobs, things like that.

Uh, my uncle owns a house that sits atop a large hill.

and I grew up a little less than two hours from Akron.

Me in Northern West Virginia and Rob in Eastern Ohio, not very far from Akron, Canada.

So I've been following that closely too.

So I'm going to bring back a last question since it is an election year, Matt.
