St Martins golf tourneyEven Saints need a hand when it comes to paying for college. Help the Saint Martin’s Saints student-athletes by raising some green on the greens at the 31st Annual Saint Martin’s Golf Tournament. Registration is now open for the event, which will take place Friday, Aug. 1, at the Capitol City Golf Club, 5225 Yelm Highway SE, in Lacey.

The tournament has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support Saint Martin’s student-athletes in all sports since it was founded in 1983. It is a joint project of the Saint Martin’s Athletic Foundation, the Office of Alumni Relations and the Athletics Department. The tournament continues to help SMU student-athletes carry on the tradition of being successful athletes, students and community members. Presenting sponsors for this year’s tournament are Charles Schwab and Bon Appétit Management Co.

“Having the support from scholarship donors has allowed me to continue my passion of playing soccer and to work toward accomplishing my academic goals,” says Kari Inch, a biology major at the University. “The game has taught me to be a team player, to work well with others, and has also helped shape me into the individual I am today. Your support has encouraged me not only to work to the best of my abilities, but to also motivate my peers on and off of the field.”

Bob Grisham, the University’s athletic director, says, “The tournament has a long history of providing scholarship support for our student athletes and this support plays an important role in our success.”

Grisham says the golf tournament attracts about 200 golfers each year. This year’s competition is a scramble format. Prizes will be awarded in the following divisions: alumni (foursomes with at least two SMU alumni golfers), mixed foursomes with at least two women golfers, open and senior (at least three golfers over 65).

Individual tournament registration is $150; team registration is $600.

An optional coupon book, available for $25 with pre-registration or $30 if purchased the day of the event, will provide entry to all on-course contests. Registration covers 18 holes of golf, cart rental, course refreshments, tee prizes and the Backswing Banquet dinner and program.

The event begins with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m., following the tournament, at the Norman Worthington Conference Center on the University campus, 5000 Abbey Way SE, Lacey. For banquet guests not participating in the tournament, the cost is $20, which will include the awarding of prizes and a raffle drawing.

For questions, please contact Bianca Galam, SMU fundraising event coordinator, 360-486-8885.
