Veteran scores hole-inone at Tinley Park outing Cody Mroczka, Editor U.S. Navy veteran Tim Smith poses for a picture with his hole-in-one trophy on May 30 at Odyssey Golf Foundation Golf Course. PHOTO SUBMITTED Gripping a 4-iron, Tim Smith stepped up to a par 3 at Tinley Park’s Odyssey Golf Foundation Golf Course and swung away. Approximately 130 yards away, the veteran was surprised to learn his ball had trickled into the hole. A resident of the Prince Home at Manteno, a transitional program that houses 15 homeless and disabled veterans, Smith, who served in the U.S. Navy based out of San Diego in the 1980’s, received a hole-in-one trophy on May 30 during one of the group’s recent outings. An on-again-off-again golfer since 1989, Smith got “a pretty good razzing” from fellow veterans who were calling him “champ” for the incredible shot. He has been coming to the Tinley Park course at 19110 S. Ridgeland Avenue “almost every week” and enjoys the experience with his fellow veterans. “It’s the experience of getting out and meeting people and just having fun,” Smith said. Odyssey Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, specializes in providing both therapeutic and recreational benefits of golf to veterans, active military personnel, and children and adults with special needs. The 18-hole course is open to the public and operated under Vietnam veteran, Ed Staffan. Lisa Halikias, Executive Director of Odyssey Golf Foundation, said the game of golf offers veterans a funbonding experience that can also relieve stress. “We are blessed to have them (Prince Home veterans) for weekly outings at the course,” she said. “We are always looking for more programs/partnerships with the foundation.” For Smith, the memory of his accomplishment will be something he can look back on and smile. But can he do it again? “It’d be nice,” he said. For more information about the foundation, please contact Halikias at lhali kias@odysseygolffounda tion.org.
