This year, the WSU Alumni Association’s annual golf tournament teed off in support of student-recruitment efforts. In fact, the tag line for the Shocker Open was “Carrying the Bag for WSU Student Recruitment.”
Held April 24 at the Willowbend Golf Club in Wichita, the event was a successful venture organized by planning committee chair Steve Cohlmia ’74 and members Steve Carr ’75, Pat Crowley ’76/79, Angela Dudley ’98/05, Bob Dwerlkotte ’75, Dick Elliott ’71, Dan Foley ’59, Bobby Gandu ’02/06, Trish Inslee ’04, Sara Stucky ’02/06 and Steve Thomas ’02/05.
More than 120 Shocker golfers participated in the tournament fundraiser, including Jan Aaron, Rick Albrecht, Tammy Allen ’82/85/95, Todd Bailey ’92/99, Tyler Chapman, Terry Donovan, Dawson Grimsley, Bob Gutschenritter ’70/75, John Hurst, Joe Korst ’56/65, Sam Kouri ’57, Mike Latimer, Bob Loveland, Leon Lungwitz ’70, Ted Mason ’86, Tim McGuigan, Brian Morris, Joe Norton ’73, Bill Oetting ’64, Tom Roulston, Kate Taylor and Quoc Truong.
Although on this day no golfer was lucky enough to drive in a hole-in-one to drive off with a 2008 Chevy Malibu — which was provided as CaddyShock’s hole-in-one prize by Davis Moore Chevrolet — each tournament golfer did walk away with a bag full of prizes, including a sleeve of golf balls and a pair of Bollé sunglasses from Specs.
