Fall Softball 2023
2023-08-27 17:30 - 21:30
Fall Softball Signup time is NOW and in the OSC Store for Purchase
Can you believe it with June already half gone, we are ready for Fall Softball Signups. If interested please go to the Omaha Sports Club website STORE and purchase a ticket to play ASAP (limited number of tickets available). We will start play on August 27th and play for 7 weeks with no games on Labor Day weekend Sept. 3rd. Your softball fee will cover the cost of registration, softballs, umpire fees, a small fee added for the season end party, and possibly some free batting cage time, made available for all the teams. Any questions please email me at mbmenke@cox.net as soon as possible or text me your questions to 319-931-8204. The cost to play will be $44.00 if paid before July 20th, and $55.00 after July 20th up to midnight on the deadline of August 10th, 2023. There will also be an application to play softball on the website that you can print and mail to me, but the fastest way to lock in your spot to play is via the STORE purchase.
If you had a chance to play on one of the teams in the summer, I could tell it looked like you were all having a pretty good time, especially at the social gatherings after the games. Some teams chose to spend some time at Moe & Curly’s – thanks to them for providing the team T-shirts. Also, some of the players on the teams came based on recommendations from the Ultimate Baseball Academy who organizes our leagues and schedules. Thanks to both of them for their support.
Regarding summer softball with the tournament soon to come, I would suggest if you would like to come out and see our teams, we play on Sunday Evenings at Kelley Fields on 124th and Fort Street on fields number 7 or 8 around 6:30 to 8:30 game times. Say Hi to the team and coaches so we can see who are cheerleaders are. Maybe take some time to say Thank You to our wonderful coaches who work so hard for the players to make sure they had a good time. If you could have joined us about a week ago, you could have watched a really good game where the Blue team knocked the 1st place team out of 1st. The Red team tried so hard also to knock out the 2nd place team but came up short of doing it. The Green team has just slowly been climbing their way to the top spot but not there yet. We will see what the Green team can do these last four weeks – can they make it to the top or not.
If you would like to hear what some of the players have to say about OSC Softball, here are some of their comments:

I joined The OSC to play in the softball league. I'm having a great time playing and meeting fun people. I'd highly recommend joining if you are interested in softball and meeting fun people with the same interests.
My favorite thing about OSC softball is the wide range of personalities that join the teams that I wouldn't normally get to interact with otherwise. People of all different ages, backgrounds, and abilities coming together to have fun and hopefully learn something from one another.
Playing OSC softball is great. Having multiple teams makes finding subs, if needed, super easy. It’s also a great way to get to meet new people in a fun environment. The team get togethers after the games are pretty fun too.

Remember if interested in joining some outdoor fun and you like Softball, please check us out at www.omahasportsclub.com , read about Softball and give it a try. It is only 7 weeks of play and a great time to come have some fun. Don’t procrastinate and miss the deadline, better yet don’t even delay your signup. Get it done soon and lock in your spot.
Hope to see all of you on the field in the Fall enjoying the Great Outdoors and having some Softball fun as well. Questions: Email Mike at mbmenke@cox.net or text me at 319-931-8204.

Omaha Sports Club August Scramble at Syracuse C.C.
2023-08-27 09:30 - 15:00
Our July scramble was cancelled... a rain out. Only my 3rd Rainout in 19 years. Once at Highland GC in Lincoln (where we waited for at least an hour for it to clear) and once at Majestic Hills GC in Denison, Iowa (where we started to play but came in after 9 holes and had lunch).. some of the tougher golfers played all 18.
We waited inside the clubhouse at Syracuse CC but it never let up, fairways became rivers and local roads became unpassable. We rescheduled our event for August on the last Sunday in August.
Syracuse is straight south on Highway 50 (45-50 minutes)… that’s kinda like driving across Omaha on Pacific street with all that construction. Our event at Syracuse includes a fried chicken dinner with 2-sides and desert with a shotgun start.

Sunday, August 27th 9:30 shotgun start

Syracuse CC
266 W. 9th Street
Syracuse, NE 68446
Cost is: $52 OSC members; $58 for a guest.
Sunday, August 27th 9:30 shotgun start

(Those that paid for July and still want to play in August are paid.
Those that paid for July and can't play in August will get a refund)
Hope you can keep your same team, if not there's still hope, let me know.

May Scramble at NuMark GC in Lincoln
2023-05-20 10:00 - 17:00
May Scramble
Saturday, May 20th Starting at 10am
NuMark GC at 4944 S 89th Street (a.k.a. HiMark GC) Lincoln, NE.

A new format “Modified Green Ball” scramble. But what is it?
3 people play scramble format AND
1 person plays a green ball.
(The Green ball hitter rotates every hole, take turns. But very generous drops if you hit in the rough and pull the ball out of the sand placements making less stress on the green ball hitter).

More “green ball” rules at golf course. (You’re gonna want to be the green ball hitter). Each team to receive 3 green balls.
This event is a Tee Times format beginning at 10am. No luncheon afterwards but sandwiches are handed out at the turn. No waiting afterwards for results... But results posted online.

Prizes for flights and some pin prizes awarded later.

Outdoor seating for those that want to stick around or possibly go somewhere in Lincoln (on your own later).
$58 per person (guest play for $63) limited to 36 golfers.

I have mentioned before that rates are going up, that definitely affects weekend golfers for "Prime Time". I called many 18 hole golf courses and this is a great weekend price. (Plus food and a small prize fee).. Prices were anywhere up to $90 at Indian Creek, Woodland Hills, Pacific Springs and Bent Tree. Since we are fielding 36-40 golfers our chances for shotgun starts at 18 hole golf courses are over till we get more golfers. City courses like Johnny Goodman and Benson will not allow tee time reservations 3-4 weeks out.

Hope to see you there.

Pickleball Spring 2023
2023-05-17 13:00 - 15:00, 2023-05-10 13:00 - 15:00, 2023-05-03 13:00 - 15:00 | Bellevue Lied Activity Center, 2700 Arboretum Dr, Bellevue, NE, United States
OSC now has a pickleball league!
Hi everyone, since several people at the Annual Affair in December 2022 indicated that they would like the Sports Club to have a pickleball league, I volunteered to be the chairperson for this activity, and after much searching, I was able to find a location for us to play at that was reasonable in cost.
We will be playing on Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 3 at the Bellevue Lied Activity Center (2700 Arboretum Dr, Bellevue, NE) starting on March 15th. The season will run for 10 weeks and will end on May 17th after which time we will have an End of Season pizza party on the same day.
Sign-up for the league is now on the OSC website and the cost is $70 per person. I am putting a limit of 18 players for this first session.
All levels of players are encouraged to play. I/we will be teaching newcomers to this sport, the rules and scoring (which can be confusing to some beginners). I will not have schedules or match-ups until I see how many people will participate and their level of play.
I hope to see you on the pickleball court for this new and exciting sport!
