Kebo Historical Markers and Results for Week of September 4th
When playing Kebo, have you noticed the old tee markers on boulders in addition to the modern ones on each hole? The details of how these markers came to be can be found in Kebo’s 60th Anniversary publication dated 1948.
“With a very small membership to draw on, the Board had to devise new methods to raise funds…Out of these problems came an interesting plan to raise money. The Board offered to a select list, the right to sponsor the name of a man or woman for each tee of the course—by paying into the “Honor Roll Fund” $1,000.00. The bronze placques, set into boulders, will be there as memorials for the life of the Kebo Valley Club.”
For more than 75 years these markers have been in place with the exception of the 17th hole. The bronze placque on that boulder mysteriously disappeared several years ago. The “Honor Roll” names and their contributions to Kebo can be found framed on the wall across from the Kebo Office. The backgrounds of these individuals, men and women, include a wide range. For example, there are auto barons, a real Baron, and a greenskeeper.
The next time you play, take time to find these markers, a bit of Kebo history.
This past week was warm and a great week to play some golf! All leagues played as scheduled, and were at near capacity. The Ladies League hosted the Jack & Jill Scramble which was won by the team of Andy & Layne Cough and Matt McDonald & Kelly Reed. The Men’s League finals will be played this coming Thursday.
