PUTTING FORE PIONEERS BRINGS IN SCHOLARSHIP
DOLLARS
DENTON,
Texas –The Putting Fore Pioneers Tournament,
a new fundraising event targeted at the TWU campus community,
has been deemed a success, raising $841.00 for athletics scholarships.
“This tournament is something new and different and we want to make it
an annual event,” Director of Athletics Chalese Connors said. “Word
has gotten around campus now about how much fun playing in this tournament was;
we’ve got people teaming up with partners for next year already.”
Putting Fore Pioneers included a nine-hole miniature golf competition in two
divisions. In the student division, Brian Griffin was the individual champion
with a score of 20 and Ashley Fennell and John Luburich won the team title
with a combined score of 46. The TWU volleyball coaching staff swept the faculty/staff
division. Head coach Shelly Barberee and assistant Houston Harris tied for
individual honors by each shooting a 19 and played together to claim the team
trophy with a score of 38.
A raffle was also held in conjunction with the golf tournament. More than 40
prizes were donated including the grand prize, a 27” flat-screen television/DVD/VCR
combo. Cathy Banks, a member of the TWU Athletics Council and director of the
TWU Science and Mathematics Center for Women, won the television.
“The students really responded to the raffle,” Connors added. “Who
wouldn’t? There were some great prizes. TWU Athletics is very grateful
to Kyle Voyles, David Sweeten and other staff members in the Student Center Office
who organized and oversaw the entire event.”
