The popular center closed suddenly in mid-March.
A drive by the Cool Springs Golf and Family Recreation Center on Hamilton Road in Bethel Park on Tuesday afternoon showed the center's miniature golf and upper driving range areas to be open for business. The lower range and batting cages were closed. The center closed suddenly in mid-March when Cool Springs senior management met with some employees to tell them they would close until—tentatively—mid-April. Bob Salera, the head professional and director of instruction at Cool Springs Golf School, said that that was the first time that Cool Springs had closed since he started working at the facility in 1997. Despite the reopening, Cool Springs' website—www.coolspringsgolfcenter.com—is out of service as of Wednesday morning.

Nearly 90 people pulled out their snow boots and golf clubs on Saturday to take part in the 2nd Annual Chili Golf Classic at Upper St. Clair's three-hole golf course. Ryan McCleaster, assistant director of recreation & leisure services of the Community & Recreation Center (CRC), is the brainchild behind the event. He and his team were out on the course at 6 a.m., clearing the snow at all nine holes so players could tee off. They did so, as more snow was falling. "It doesn't matter how many hours I put in and how cold I got. It helps the special needs programs," McCleaster said. "It'll be worth it in the end to see those kids."

Congratulations Jeff! Quite an accomplishment but I beg to differ with the terminology. On every other continent where golf is played, a score of 3-under par on a hole is known as an albatross. more ›
