Social Events Roundup By Eileen Holmes, FHAOI Social Director
The Poker Run 2024 was a Huge Success! The FHAOI held their 4th Annual Poker Run on March 9 and over a hundred players participated. The “I Spy” game of gathering the names of movies in addition to your playing cards saw golf carts riding all over the streets trying to finish up before the deadline. It was a lot of fun and once again thanks to all the volunteers who came together to make it a great event. On March 15, FHAOI and MetroHealth sponsored a senior painting event that saw around 25 people working hard and having fun painting their butterflies. Dr. Stephen Quaning gave a short talk, and tours of the medical bus were given along with a free lunch. Our next event is April 6 with a free pancake breakfast for all and MetroHealth here again for a Sock Hop and Talent Show. The events start at 8 am and goes until 1 pm. New residents are invited to meet the Board and have an opportunity to ask questions and hear more about living in Fairways on April 7 from 2-4 pm at the Masters. Keep your calendars marked for May 25 for a pool party! More information will be available next month as well as on the TVs and Facebook.
THE LUCK OF THE IRISH By Scott Glover
Good luck was running rampant
on St. Paddy’s Day during the putting competition at the Fairway’s putting green. Over 60 people competed for prizes and bragging rights as the Best Putter at Fairways and the competition was tight. Pat Jennings won the women’s division under the supervision of her husband and caddie John Jennings with a score of 100. Debbie Keltner, The Shuffleboard Queen and mother of Shannon Hidecki Keltner, who never had a club in her hands before scored a blazing 70 points to claim 2nd place.

The men’s division was a hotly contested affair with an early surprise leader, the grandson of Fostoria CC champion Curt Mottram and the 2022 and 2023 FHAOI Invitational champion Shelly Mottram. 5-year-old Cash McKee was calling his shots and taking dead aim at the center 50 point hole and sank two putts in a row till he decided he was done and wanted to get something to eat. Hours passed after Cash had posted his score and John Gondek, a local resident, took his turn and scored 100 points with his three putts. Upon being told he was tied for the lead his big grin turned into a frown when he

was told he was tied with a 5-year-old. This is where “The Luck of the Irish” comes into play. Playing in the men’s division, Paul Rigsby’s first putt found the 30 point hole and his second putt also found the 30 putt hole giving him a combined score of 60 points, 40 points behind the leaders. With only one ball left and needing a score of 50 points to take the lead, he took dead aim and drilled it home to claim the title of Best Putter in Fairways and a final score of 110 points. A very special thanks to all who came out and participated and made the morning a success.
