Bob O'Connor Golf Course — Attraction in Pittsburgh

I grew up playing and learning the game on this local Pittsburgh course in the 80’s and have many fond memories of its old layout. I learned how to play every conceivable hilly lie, blind shot, off center stance, imperfect lie, etc etc. And whatever it may have lacked in sophistication and polish, it more than made up for in the skills it forced me to learn, and which helped me tremendously over the years on other courses.

Thankful to have course that's close. And the maintenance has definitely improved over the years.Likely to keep trying for that hole in one on number...
