Foundation Golf Outing Slated for August 22 in Ames

March 19, 2013 — AASV Staff

Mark your calendar for Thursday, August 22 to enjoy a fun day of golf with your colleagues and friends! Due to the record turnout and enthusiastic support at last year’s event, the AASV Foundation is returning to Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa for its annual Midwest Golf Outing.

AASV members, industry stakeholders, and guests are invited to register a 4-person team to enjoy this friendly 18-hole best-ball tournament. Individuals and couples are also welcome to register and will be assigned to a team. Golfers will test their combined skills against the challenges of the course and compete in individual contests along the way. Registrations are due August 8.

Golfer check-in begins at 10:00 AM the day of the event, with the driving range available for warming up with a few practice balls. The four-person team, best-ball competition gets underway at 11:30 AM with a shotgun start. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course. Following the golfing, team and individual contest winners will be recognized during a pork chop dinner.

The registration fee includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart rental, lunch, beverages, awards dinner and prizes. Proceeds from the outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to “ensure our future…create a legacy” for swine veterinarians. Income generated by the event helps fund foundation programs such as swine externship grants for veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, research funding, student intern support, and member recollection videos.
