Colorado Golf Day Set For August 28

               BOULDER — The 14th Annual Colorado Golf Day, the main fundraising event for the University of Colorado men's golf team, is set for Monday, August 28, with Boulder Country Club once again serving as host.

                Participants have the opportunity to play the course that has previously hosted the men's and women's Pac-12 Conference championships as well as several of the state's top amateur tournaments throughout its history.

               "This event has continued to serve as a terrific way to start the season since its creation," said Roy Edwards, CU's head men's golf coach. "We are excited that Boulder Country Club will again host Colorado Golf Day this fall, our important fundraiser for the men's golf team. Everyone enjoys the course and the opportunity to meet the team."

                The format is a four-person "shamble" with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start, and entry fees include lunch, soft drinks, a heavy appetizer awards reception and prizes (a shamble is where everyone tees off, but then everyone plays in from the location of the best drive). Also included is membership in the Colorado Golf Partners booster program. It all starts with registration, lunch and the start of the silent auction at 11:30 a.m.

               Individual entry fees are $450, with a team of four costing $1,800; players can compete as individuals or for their businesses, but also can compete with three others on behalf of their designated golf club (members, pros, staff members, etc.) and the winning team will receive a rotating trophy to be on display at their club.

                There are also several sponsorship opportunities available (hole and title sponsors at various donation amounts), along with many great auction items to bid on as well. All net proceeds from the event go to the Men's Golf Team Excellence Fund to help defray assorted expenses over the course of the season. Those interested in helping support the team don't need to play by choosing to donate one of the sponsorship choices.

                For more information on the event and to consider becoming a sponsor, please contact head coach Roy Edwards at roy.edwards@colorado.edu. You can register for Colorado Golf Day directly at https://cvent.me/P9Gbev and click on the registration link at the bottom of the page.

               (The 2023-24 Buffaloes return six lettermen from last year's team, which finished third in both the Pac-12 Championship and NCAA Central Regional before placing 21st in the NCAA Finals. The team is still fairly young, as four sophomores led the team down the stretch last spring: Dylan McDermott, Justin Biwer, Tucker Clark and Jack Holland along with freshman Hunter Swanson. McDermott, who has qualified for the U.S. Amateur along with freshman recruit Brandon Knight, led the team in an astounding 36 statistical categories, including setting 10 school records. Academically, the team has now recorded five straight semesters over a 3.0 grade point average.)
