Emma Matthew - Today at the golf outing was a blast! It was awesome to meet the people who help with giving athletes scholarships through DU and also seeing them have a great time! Being able to thank these people personally was a great experience.
Hannah Pohlman - My experience at the golf outing was fairly interesting. I got to see and talk to just about all of the golfers because I was working at the most popular drink station. Everyone was very nice and wanted to know all about how I was connected to Davenport. My favorite part was putting out a tip jar almost as a joke, and making over 60 dollars!!! It was a beautiful day out, and I would volunteer again to help for our scholarships!
Rebecca Wadsworth - It was such a beautiful day for a golf outing!! Amy VanEns (cross country, former VB player) and I had a great time giving the golfers advice on how to get a hole in one, from our vast knowledge from no previous golf experience... and win a vacation for four to Naples, FL. Unfortunately, no one made a hole-in-one, but a good time was still had by all.
Lexie Spetoskey - I was on the Valley course hole #11! Which 11 is my number so that is a great start to a day! I also was partnered up with a golfer at that hole and his name was Warren. It was fun watching all the golfers wanting him to join their team and golf for them. Which he was able to hit off the tee for any golfer who would pay $20. Warren did a wonderful job for them I don't think he ever missed the fair way! So I think the golfers were able to get their moneys worth. It was a perfect day I got a little burnt but not bad at all! I would say my favorite part of the day would be watching all different kinds of people come through and help support Davenport University :)
Belma Alic - Today was a perfect day for a golf outing! Molly and I had a great time getting our tan on and pretending like we understood golf! We met lots of people and were at the perfect hole ( next to the bdubs tent). All in all it was a great day :) and we did learn a few things about golfing!
Nicole Chase - The golf outing was a huge success a great deal of fun. I was on the Ridge hole 3 with Kasey Bylsma and a very large silo that three people ended up hitting but we had a ton of fun. It was great to see all of the wonderful people who sponsor Davenport Athletics and support our scholarship fund so we can go to school. We meet lots of wonderful people and Kasey did a nice job making sure teams got on the green if they were willing to give a little extra for her to T-off for them, it was very impressive how consistently she hit and how well she is at golf! The weather was beautiful as well and overall we had a wonderful day and as far as I know all the golfers did as well!! Thanks to everyone what golfed in the tournament, participated in the auction, helped put the tournament on, and worked during the day. I was an awesome even and I am so grateful.
Kelse Moon - Today I was on the Valley course hole 7 with Jamie Cattran of the golf team and I was sooooo thankful because it was shaded for the majority of the day! The weather was perfect and the view was gorgeous! I was one of the few who didn't even get burnt! We even saw deer prancing around everywhere which was saawweeet! It was so great to see and meet some of the people there who give so much to DU! After the 5ish hours on the course we made our way back in. I had to awesome opportunity to speak at the dinner later in front of the 300 some people that attended! It was so eye opening to see all the generous people that donate to Davenport Scholarships! I got to stay an enjoy the delicious dinner and got to sit at the head table with President Pappas, Mr. Lettinga, and other nice welcoming people! It was quite the experience and I even won a 50/50 raffle price! Overall today was a super success! Yay DUVB!

It’s amazing how a round of golf can help raise funds for well-deserving students. Throughout the years, many companies and organizations have used this sport for advocacies that help in the betterment of various sectors of society. Because of this, golf has garnered a reputation as a sport of goodwill.
