News: Pour a Shot of Fireball
|
|
Columbus member, Linn Weimer, passed away Saturday, March 2nd, at home with family following an illness.
From her Safari Captain and friend, Amanda Rich: As she would want us to remember her, Linn would want us to have a shot for her. Given the recent weather, it should hit the spot.
In lieu of flowers she and the family are requesting donations to the First Tee / Girls Golf program.

Linn commented she really enjoyed the last two years with all of us “golf gals” and would like to give the same opportunity to other young girls who want to learn and play the game.
To donate by check to:
- The First Tee of Central Ohio Girls Golf
- PO Box 3
- Reynoldsburg, OH 43068
- Please Note: In memory of Linn Weimer
For anyone who would like to donate in person: Join us at the
Grill Room at Safari Golf Club on March 22nd from 5:30-7:30 PM for a Celebration of Life Memorial Gathering so we can share our favorite Linn memories and give to help other young girls get hooked on golf. Appetizers will be provided, cash bar.
Cheers Linn, we will miss you…
