The 2009 outing took place at Macatawa Legends on Monday, June 15.

The Hope College Office of Alumni and Parent Relations hosts an annual golf outing named in honor of Bob DeYoung, Class of 1956, who served Hope College in administration for 35 years. Alumni, parents and friends of Hope are invited to join in on this great day. Over 225 people participated in the 2009 golf outing.

Golfers of all ages and skills are welcome and mixed foursomes are encouraged. This 18-hole scramble with foursome play. Teams will be placed in one of four divisions based on the average 18-hole scores. Teams can win first or second place within their division, as well as win skill prizes. Prizes are donated by corporate sponsors.

In addition to the fun and festivities of the day, we also want the day to be significant in the life of the college. In 2006, Hope implemented a corporate sponsor campaign to raise money for the Bob DeYoung Endowed Scholarship, which is awarded to a deserving student every year. This contribution ensures that even as we gather for one day to celebrate and enjoy; we will also leave a lasting legacy on the future and wellbeing of Hope.

If you are interested in being a corporate sponsor for the golf outing, please contact Mark DeWitt, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, at dewittm@hope.edu
