Friends of the Waisman Center Golf Outing

 

20th Annual Golf Benefit, Monday, July 16, 2012 at Bishops Bay Country Club

 

Join us on the golf course FORE a good cause! The Friends of the Waisman Center golf benefit is the most important fund raiser of our organization—raising more than $400,000 over the course of the last 19 years. The proceeds from this benefit make it possible for the Friends to enhance many activities at the Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison that would otherwise not be possible. All of these activities help people with developmental disabilities or neurodegenerative diseases and their families.

 

Information for Players:  

The Date/the Place: Monday, July 16, 2012 at Bishops Bay Country Club, 3500 Bishops Bay Drive, Middleton, WI

The Golf: Scramble format. We limit the number of golfers, so everyone should be finished by late afternoon and on the way home by 7:00 p.m.!

Schedule for the Day:

 · 10:30-11:15 a.m. Arrive and register; purchase raffle tickets and mulligan; pick up a sleeve of golf balls, tees, and receive a ticket for a complimentary drink from one of the beverage carts that will roam the course during play.

 · 11:00 a.m. Box lunches are placed on carts.

A Raffle! As usual, our raffle will feature great prizes for our participants and guests on the day of this event! Win sports tickets, golf packages, arts and entertainment excursions, etc., all worth between $100-$500+. Cost of tickets is the same as always: 1 for $5; three for $10, once around the waist for $25 OR, the best deal—twice around the waist for $40.

 

The Buffet and Reception: Most players come to the reception "just as they are" right after golf. The buffet will be set up in time for the first players who finish and will be replenished throughout the reception. Prizes and contest winners will be announced and the raffle drawing will begin once everyone has gone through the buffet line.

 

What to Wear: Shoes with soft spikes only. Shorts O.K. (but, please, no gym shorts or denim). Men should wear collared shirts.

 

What if it Rains? Play will go on unless storms are severe and long-lasting. If play is cancelled, the reception will still take place, and players can obtain a rain check for a round of golf.
