2013 REGISTRATION FORM
DEAR WILDCAT GOLF FANS: I am very excited to invite you to join us at the Wildcat Golf Day with Luke Donald at Evanston Golf Club. This will be a wonderful day at an amazing facility hosted by our most famous golf alum, Luke Donald. Luke has been an incredibly generous supporter of our golf program, most notably making the gift for us to build the Luke Donald Outdoor Practice Facility at the Glen Club. I couldn’t be more thankful that Luke has offered to host a fundraiser and continue his support of Northwestern Golf.
We have been very fortunate to have the success that we have with our golf programs. Our men’s program has now played in 14 NCAA Championships and seven NCAA Finals since 1997 and won four Big Ten Championships. Your generous support has made this success possible. Now we have taken on the new endeavor of not only continuing our success in Men’s Golf but growing our Women’s Program to the top of the Big Ten and the nation under the leadership of 2013 Big Ten Coach of the Year Emily Fletcher. She led her team to its first-ever Big Ten championship and a programbest 15th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2013. To achieve our goals and continue improving we need your support now more than ever. Wildcat Golf Day with Luke Donald is an annual event and our primary fundraiser for both programs. Your support makes it possible for us to recruit and compete with the best teams in the Big Ten and in the nation. Please come out and join us to have a fun day and support Wildcat Golf. This will be a memorable event on the golf calendar, so please invite fellow NU fans, clients, golf fans and friends. Go ’Cats!
Pat Goss, Northwestern Director of Golf
