Big Rapids, Mich. - Another record turnout is expected and spots are filling fast for the 16th annual Ferris State University Men's Basketball Alumni and Friends Golf Outing that will be held Wednesday, July 24, 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.

"This outing has propelled us to a record five-straight 20 win seasons," said FSU head coach Andy Bronkema. "We encourage everyone to come out and celebrate with us. The support we generate from this outing will help keep us on an Elite level."

More than 100 golfers have took part in the event each of the last six years as the annual outing continues to grow, including nearly 150 golfers each of the past three years.

The entry fee, which is $100 per person or $400 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 $475. All proceeds from the outing support the men's basketball program.

This past season, following a historic 2017-18 season in which FSU went 38-1 overall and won the school's first NCAA Division II National Championship, the Bulldogs compiled a 20-12 overall record under head coach Andy Bronkema while notching its fifth-straight 20-win campaign. The Bulldogs placed second in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) North Division standings.

Along with the second-place league finish, the Bulldogs also reached the GLIAC Tournament for the fifth consecutive year and earned the right to host a quarterfinal-round home contest.
