The Spring Scramble was a success again this year and the weather actually cooperated this year. Thank you to Chris Thompson, PGA and Director of Golf at Wilderness Ridge for hosting this event again for us.

April 28 was a cool day and the turnout was solid with 13 teams participating. The event was a four person scramble at Wilderness Ridge and the students handled every aspect of the tournament including planning, securing sponsors, running the tournament, scoring and awards.

The event started with an 18-hole shotgun start with lunch immediately following play. During lunch there were a dozen or so silent auction items to bid on. The event concluded with the committee handing out awards to the top five places in one flight and a presentation of the scholarships. The team of Holly, Nolde, Nolde, and Wacker fired a 29-31 for a 60. The team of Murray, Palmer, Murray, and Sandman shot a 30-30 for a 60. After the playoff, the team of Murray, Palmer, Murray, and Sandman earned the top prize in this year's competition. Congratulations!

CASNR was title sponsor of the tournament for 2019 and the students raised enough money to provide five, $500 scholarships. A big "shout out" to the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources!

The recipients were Joey Chandra, Justin Wagner, Beth Hildebrant, Dillon Gillming, and Gabby Carollo. Congratulations Women and Men!
