29TH ANNUAL BLUGOLD GOLF OUTING SET FOR AUGUST 1

The 29th Annual UW-Eau Claire Blugold Booster Golf Outing will take place Monday, August 1 at the Hillcrest Country Club. UWEC athletic officials anticipate 160 local businessmen and boosters to participate in the fundraiser for Blugold athletics. Nearly two dozen Blugold coaches and athletics staff and 40 athletes will cover the course, interacting and assisting with the boosters who will play an 18-hole scramble.

The event received significant underwriting from M&L Brands Inc. and Mega Charities.

In addition, at least 12 other businesses made major contributions including Trubilt Auto Body, Lisa Stelter of RCU, Vinopal Title & Abstract, McDonough Manufacturing, Charter Bank, Wipfli, Kell Container, Chippewa Valley Sporting Goods, Xcel Energy, National Presto Industries, Kristo Orthodontics and Larson Companies.

There will be contests on all the par three holes with these items going to the individual that gets closest to the hole: a 15-inch LCD TV, an Apple 20G I-Pod, an Insignia DVD Recorder and a Kodak Digital Camera. Additional contests are planned for the other 14 holes.

Spots are still available for the outing but reservations must be made by Tuesday, said outing coordinator Tim Petermann. The registration fee of $150 includes 18 holes of golf, two carts per fivesome, Blugold souvenir gifts, brats, pizza and beverages on the course, and a steak dinner at Fischers' on the Green.
