by Dr. Eric Wilson Keiser University College of Golf Executive Director of Golf Operations
Keiser University College of Golf (KUCOG), Professor Frank Longabucco’s Tournament Management class members, recently organized and conducted a course and season-ending tournament held at Park Ridge Golf Course in Lake Worth, Florida, to benefit Cystic Fibrosis.
Twenty-four players (12 teams) competed in the two-person scramble format, with prizes awarded to the winners. The team of Alex Johnston and George Pepper fired a round of 10-under par 62 to claim victory.
“The experience of actually planning, organizing, and conducting a tournament reinforces the classroom learning environment and rewards students with a hands-on, real-world application of what it is like to work in the golf industry,” said Professor Longabucco. He reiterated, “The event ran smoothly; participants and organizers enjoyed the opportunity and had nothing but positive feedback.”
