The annual Alumni Golf Tournament is coming up this Friday at Pineridge Golf Course and there is still time to secure your spot as an individual or to register a team.
This tournament is a fun and stress-free way to kick-off golf season while connecting with friends and expanding your network. If you are still looking for a reason to take the afternoon off work, look no further.
Five reasons to hit the links
1. Golf is fun
The Alumni Golf Tournament is all about fun. With no experience necessary, teams of three play a Texas Scramble format (best ball). If you are an experienced golfer, not to fear, there are plenty of tough holes that will challenge even the veteran golfer. Take the afternoon off work, enjoy the beautiful weather and have some fun with old friends and new.
2. Games
If golf isn’t necessarily your thing but you have a knack for party games then this is the event for you. It’s not just about who is the best golfer at this tournament. Test your hand at golf beer pong, try for the longest drive with a marshmallow, take part in a toonie toss, enter the putting contest and get your photo taken at the photo booth.
3. Food and drink
If one thing is certain, it’s that you won’t go hungry at this golf tournament. Start the day with a BBQ lunch, sample food and drinks around the course provided by the generous hole sponsors and finish your day with dinner at the clubhouse. You will have the opportunity to taste test everything from Flavours of India samosas to Earls martinis.
4. Prizes
There are many opportunities to take home a prize including longest drive, longest put, closest to the pin, a $5,000 hole-in-one opportunity and many more. With an array of activities, stations and prizes, you won’t leave this event empty-handed.
5. Raise money for students
Last but certainly not least, the best reason to participate in the Alumni Golf Tournament is to help raise money for TRU student financial aid and awards. What better way to give back to the community than to have some fun out on the course with friends.
TRU hosts many golf tournaments over the spring and summer but if you are looking for a fun day on the course this is the tournament for you.
