Say It With Golf Balls - a unique marriage proposal
Patrick McGeean, formerly of Park Ridge, now living in Des Plaines uses golf balls to pop the big question at Park Ridge Country Club
Unique marriage proposal gets a positive reaction
When Patrick McGeean of Des Plaines wanted to propose marriage to his girlfriend, Mary Adams of Downers Grove, he knew they both loved golf.
So, on July 2 as the couple finished their round at the Park Ridge Country Club, Patrick's big question was waiting at the edge of the 18th green spelled out with golf balls. Mary said "yes" and was very delighted with Patrick's creativity. A date for the marriage is pending. Patrick's parents, Bill and Joan, are longtime members of PRCC.
Patrick is the Operations Manager of Bil-Mac Express, a trucking company in Elk Grove Village started by his grandfather. Mary is a Special Education Teacher in Downers Grove. The couple met 18 months ago on a phone app called Tinder. When they started dating, Mary took up golf and now regularly breaks 100--something Patrick feels is great for a beginner.
