Back-To-Back GLIAC Tourney Champs Holding 13th Annual Men's Basketball Golf Outing July 20
Big Rapids, Mich. - A record turnout is expected and limited availability already reamins for the 13th annual Ferris State University Men's Basketball Alumni and Friends Golf Outing will be held Wednesday, July 20, at FSU's Katke Golf Course in Big Rapids, Mich.
All Bulldog fans and friends are invited to take part in the four-person scramble, which serves as one of the program's primary fundraising events. The 18-hole outing will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m., and a 9:45 a.m. rules meeting followed by a 10 a.m. shotgun start.
"I'm looking forward to another great outing and celebrating back-to-back conference GLIAC Tournament Championships at this event," said FSU head coach Andy Bronkema. "The golf outing is always a great way to catch up with alumni and friends while building support for our program. I'm expecting record numbers and the support we receive thru this event is extremely important in our quest to reach the Elite Eight."
More than 100 golfers have took part in the event each of the last three years as the annual outing continues to grow.
The entry fee, which is $80 per person or $320 a team, includes 18 holes of golf with a cart, a postgame luncheon at Buffalo Wild Wings following play, raffle, silent auction and many other activities throughout the round. A great package of team and individual prizes will also be awarded. In addition, members of the Bulldog men's basketball program and various FSU Athletics Department staff will be on hand throughout the day.
Business and individual sponsorships are also available, including tee sponsorships ($125) or a corporate package that includes a foursome and a tee sponsorship for $400. All proceeds from the outing support the men's basketball program.
