The tournament, in its 11th year, is named after former SUNY Cortland professor Dr. Suzanne Wingate. Wingate, who was an avid golfer, is credited with founding the college’s sport management program and worked there from 1985 until her death from cancer in 1995. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Suzanne Wingate Memorial Scholarship Fund for sport management majors. The scholarship, given each spring, became endowed in 2001. Previous recipients of the award are: Glenn Odebralski (2006), Miranda Quinn (2005), Douglas Forster (2004), Thomas Haslett (2003), Karin Pindle (2002), Chad Homer (2001), Brian Duprey (1999), Joseph Barbarito (1998) and Brian Marion (1997). The event at the 18-hole, par-70 course starts at 9 a.m. A barbeque chicken dinner and Chinese auction will be held at 3:30 p.m. The cost is $50 per person or $200 per team. The deadline for registrations is Sept. 15. If you are interested in playing in the tournament, sponsoring a hole or donating to the Chinese auction, contact Professor Lisa Scherer at (607) 753-5426 or SchererL@cortland.edu. |
