Ohio State Alumni Club Golf Outing

The outing is open to members as well as non-members for $110 per person which includes 18 holes of golf immediately followed by a luncheon. Non-golfers are welcome to attend the luncheon with a speaker for $25 per person. The event will also feature more than 100 silent auction offerings, a hole in one contest with a chance to win a two-year lease for a 2014 Ford Mustang donated by Sarasota Ford as well as a helicopter golf ball drop with an opportunity to win $1,000. All event proceeds support the local alumni club’s scholarship fund.
