Full field of golfers participate in 26th annual SU Golf Classic

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – A full field of golfers participated in the 26th annual Salisbury University Golf Classic on Wednesday, May 5, at River Marsh Golf Club at the Hyatt Regency. The event was a fun-filled, competitive event that fulfilled its ultimate goal, to provide scholarships for SU.

"We had a terrific turnout by our sponsors and teams who understand the importance of this tournament and how it benefits our students and campus programs," said SU Director of Leadership Giving and Stewardship Amy Waters. "The event featured familiar faces as most of the participants have played in years past, and we did see six new teams participate in the event."

The event featured great weather throughout as a nice breeze played out over the golf course on Wednesday.

The 32 teams competed for prizes and bragging rights as the day focused on the future for SU. Funds raised will help future Sea Gull students benefit from college scholarships and other programs.
