- An organization involved in running the Schenley Park Golf Course wants the city to rename the facility after the late Mayor Bob O'Connor. "My hope is that it eventually comes to be called the Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park, and that people end up calling it The Bob," said Bruce Stephen, executive director of The First Tee of Pittsburgh, a nonprofit organization that teaches kids golf and moral values at the course. "The O'Connor family very much wants that." "Bob played here, loved the place, and was on the board of First Tee of Pittsburgh," Mr. Stephen said.

| - An organization involved in running the Schenley Park Golf Course wants the city to rename the facility after the late Mayor Bob O'Connor. "My hope is that it eventually comes to be called the Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park, and that people end up calling it The Bob," said Bruce Stephen, executive director of The First Tee of Pittsburgh, a nonprofit organization that teaches kids golf and moral values at the course. "The O'Connor family very much wants that." He said he has also floated the idea to City Council President Doug Shields, a close friend of Mr. O'Connor whose colleagues would have to approve such a name change. Mr. Shields, he said, was receptive. "Bob played here, loved the place, and was on the board of First Tee of Pittsburgh," Mr. Stephen said. The course is owned by the city but maintained by Carnegie Mellon University under an agreement that runs out at year's end. First Tee has been involved in maintenance and operation of the course for years and hopes to take on those roles entirely after CMU bows out, Mr. Stephen said. The organization's annual fund-raising event starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the golf course. The cost is $75 per person.
