Drill those drives, sharpen your chip shots, and perfect your putting as you make plans to attend the AASV Foundation's Midwest Golf Outing on Tuesday, August 22 in Ames, Iowa! The Ames Golf & Country Club is the setting for this 18-hole best ball contest, with proceeds benefiting the AASV Foundation endowment. This is a great opportunity to spend some time with clients, colleagues, and friends in a relaxed setting.

Golfer check-in begins at 9:00 am the day of the event. Coffee and pastries will be provided along with an opportunity to hit a few practice balls on the driving range. The 4-person team, best-ball competition begins with a shotgun start at 10:00 am. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course, and a reception will follow the golfing to recognize team and individual contest winners.

Proceeds from the golf outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to "Ensure our future...Create a legacy" for swine veterinarians. Interest income generated by the endowment enables the Foundation to fund programs such as the Swine Externship Grants for senior veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, and funding for research with direct application to the profession.
