The 2015 Landscape Architecture Alumni Golf Outing will provide nearly $2,500 for undergraduate student scholarships. While participation and fundraising was down from previous years, the 32 players who did turn out at the Hawk Hollow Golf Course had a wonderful day of golf and camaraderie!
The winning foursome included Nick Bockerstette, Brian Voelz, Drew Jackson, and Donald Stefanko at 18 strokes under par. This year also featured the youngest participant in Jennings Burley, who amazingly won the longest drive for 5 year old boys on the second hole! Rumor has it, he out drove Paul Nieratko!!!
All kidding aside, a note of thanks goes out to Paul Nieratko and the LA Club for their volunteerism and leadership. Mark your calendar NOW for the 2016 outing on September 16 at the Eagle Eye Golf Club in Bath, Michigan.
If you missed this opportunity to contribute to the program and its world-class academic endeavors, it’s never too late. Please consider contributing today! Big or small, every bit of financial support is needed to help make the program, as stated by the LAAAB President Deb Cooper, the VERY BEST OF THE BEST!
