IN 2004, AFTER MANY YEARS OF DRIVING RANGE BALLS INTO A VACANT LIMESTONE QUARRY, WITH NO PARTICULAR PURPOSE EXCEPT FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS TO THE ONE WHO HIT IT THE FARTHEST, THE "FOUNDING FATHERS", JOHN KILKO, PAUL FINNEGAN, RICK GRENDA, AND ED SPAYD CREATED THE GAME OF "QUARRY GOLF". LOCATED IN A REMOTE LOCATION ON KELLEYS ISLAND, OHIO, IN THE MIDDLE OF LAKE ERIE, "THE KELLEYS ISLAND COUNTRY CLUB" AND "THE LIMESTONE LINKS" WERE FOUNDED. THIS SOCIAL ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED FOR A GROUP OF AVID "HACK" GOLFERS. MANY OF US WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD ON A REAL COURSE. ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT BE "HACKERS" WE DO TAKE THE SPORT OF "QUARRY GOLF" VERY SERIOUSLY. EACH SUNDAY, SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL, THE OPEN INVITATION IS EXTENDED TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES TO PLAY A "ROUND OF NINE HOLES" OF "Q.G." THERE ARE NO GREENS FEES BUT WE DO TAKE DONATIONS FOR THE COURSE MAINTENANCE FUND. IN THE PAST 4 YEARS THE KICC HAS HAD APPOX. 75 DIFFERENT PLAYERS PARTICIPATE IN "OPENS", "INVITES", AND "SCRAMBLES". WHEN WE GET CREATIVE, WE PLAY "GOLF CHALLENGE. SO IF YOU ARE ON "THE ROCK", LOOK US UP FOR A QUICK ROUND OF 9. NO NEED TO BRING CLUBS. WE HAVE PLENTY AND RENT FREE. STOP IN AT THE CADDY SHACK BAR OR THE ISLAND MARKET AND ASK ABOUT THE KICC. THEY SHOULD BE HELPFUL WITH ANY INFO. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOMETIME!
