"The continuous support from our repeat participants, as well as the new supporters we gain on a year-to-year basis, cements our golf outing as one of the more enjoyable days of the year," Associate Director of Athletics Michael Hebenstreit remarked. "Thank you to all who not only showed up and played, but also contributed to make this event another success." 

The outing, held at members-only Old York Road Country Club, featured breakfast, an 18-hole morning shotgun start, lunch, an 18-hole afternoon shotgun start, cocktail hour, and dinner. The golf portion of the day had a number of different contests that tested the various skills of the participating golfers, including a putting contest and closest to the pin competitions, among others. 

The foursome of Arturo Hernandez '23, Sam Whitehouse '24, Parker Bolda, and Connor Dennis '25 won the scramble format with a score of 55, good for 16-under par.

Joe Templin, Kevin Lavery, Joe Hare, and Ray Miller finished second while Steve Buckley, George Apeldorn, Bob Apeldorn, and Holly Apeldorn took third.
