Group forms to aid Stambaugh golf course

With the city unable to provide funding to pay for repairs and improvements to its Henry Stambaugh Golf Course, a group of golfers created an organization to raise money for such purposes.

First on the list for the Friends of Stambaugh Golf Course is the clubhouse’s exterior.

The gutters and downspouts are rusting and during rain, water gathers near the building’s foundation, porch and steps and has damaged wood posts attached to the clubhouse. Also, work is needed to the windows’ sash and trim.

The exterior clubhouse work will cost about $17,000.

Those wanting to contribute can send checks or money orders to the Friends of Stambaugh Golf Course, attention Susann Timko or Richard Ascente, PNC Bank at Union Square, 2533 Belmont Ave., Youngstown 44505. Cash contributions can be made at that PNC Bank to Timko or Ascente, who are that branch’s managers.
