Golfers: Tee up! Preregister by August 17!

August 2, 2022 — AASV Staff

It's time to recruit and register your golf team to support the AASV Foundation!

Registration is now open for the annual AASV Foundation Golf Outing, to be held Wednesday, August 31. The event is returning to Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa, where past participants have enjoyed lovely weather, great food, and a well-groomed course with just the right amount of challenge. There is plenty of room for additional golfers -- so practice your swing and register to spend a relaxing day with your colleagues in support of the foundation.

Everyone is welcome! AASV members, industry stakeholders, clients, staff, family, and friends are all invited to register a 4-person team for this fun, 18-hole best-ball tournament. Individual golfers and pairs are also welcome and will be assigned to a team. The registration fee ($125 per golfer/$500 per team) includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart, lunch, beverages, awards dinner, and prizes. Preregistration is required by August 17.

Golfer check-in begins at 11:00 AM and a shotgun start at noon kicks off the event. Golfers compete as a foursome against the challenges of the course in addition to participating in individual contests along the way. Using Scrolf electronic scoring, golfers can check their progress against the other teams as they make their way around the course.

APC sponsors boxed lunches and Zoetis keeps golfers hydrated with beverages throughout the afternoon. At the conclusion of the golfing, event coordinator Dr. Josh Ellingson announces the team and individual contest winners during the pork dinner sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.

Contests and giveaways hosted by the following Golf Hole Sponsors add to the fun - and prizes!

• Furst McNess Company
• Huvepharma
• Insight Wealth Group
• Kemin Animal Nutrition & Health
• Merck Animal Health
• National Pork Producers Council
• Pharmgate Animal Health
• Phibro Animal Health
• Ralco
• United Animal Health

Funds raised by the event support AASV Foundation programs, including research grants, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, swine externship grants, scholarships for veterinarians pursuing board certification in the American College of Animal Welfare, student debt relief scholarships, AASV heritage videos, and more. Thanks to strong sponsorship support and golfer participation, last year's outing raised more than $15,000 for the foundation!
