Hendel: Pro-Ams, gatherings highlight Dana Open week
GREAT golf and fun are at the 40th anniversary DANA Open at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, which ends Sunday. The tournament, which hosts some of the greatest women golfers in the world, is among the longest-running LPGA tournaments. LEADING up to the Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament were Pro-Ams including the Kickoff and KeyBank events and the Toledo Community Foundation Putting Pro-Am all at Highland Meadows. The Hylant Pro-Am, where there was a Richard Hylant Trophy, and the Dana Pro-Am were at Inverness Club. Many community men and women who played in the Pro-Ams had fun stories to share. THERE was also the 19th Hole gala presented by O-I and Hollywood Casino Toledo at the casino, which I covered in my Thursday column.

The new classic: Wood County couple opens vintage automobile museum
MILLBURY, Ohio — As Tammy and Mike Bartlett have spent over two decades collecting cars, their passion has grown from storing their collection in one garage, to building a larger one, yet outgrowing both spaces. Now the pair is showcasing their collectables in a museum for the public to view. The Millbury Classic Cars and Trucks museum, located at 26929 Cummings Rd., features close to 85 cars and trucks on display, said co-owner Tammy Bartlett, along with vintage and neon signs, gas pumps, bikes, and mannequins. “It really never intended to be a car museum in the beginning, but as our collection and our love for purchasing cars just kept growing,” she continued, “we've decided, you know, it would be really nice to share everything with the public.” Besides the classic car museum in Bowling Green, Snook’s Dream Cars, Bartlett said there’s nothing quite like this in the northwest region of Ohio.
Dana Open comes to Highland Meadows for 35th time
It’s a milestone year for the Dana Open, as the LPGA event celebrates its 40th anniversary and status as the second-longest-running non-major championship. This is also the 35th playing at Highland Meadows, the Sylvania golf club that has grown synonymous with the Jamie Farr-turned-Marathon Classic-turned-Dana Open, hosting many of the tournament’s greatest moments. “Highland Meadows membership, it is a great partnership,” Dana Open tournament director Judd Silverman said. “As successful partnerships go, both parties understand each other’s needs, and we’ve always been able to work it out. I just couldn’t be more appreciative of the support that the club has provided the tournament through the years. I think it’s been a win-win situation, and no partnership is going to last that long if it’s not.” The Jamie Farr Toledo Classic began in 1984 at Glengarry Country Club (now Stone Oak), where it remained until moving to Highland Meadows in 1989. A burned-down clubhouse and Glengarry’s sale to Cavalear Corporation factored into the course change. The marriage has been positive for both sides, evidenced by the length. One tournament at a single course for more than three decades on the LPGA Tour is unheard of.
