Annual Lincoln College Golf Outing is Friday
Golf Outing and Reception Raises Funds for Athletic Scholarships

 

[July 24, 2018]  LINCOLN - The Lincoln College annual Golf Outing for Scholarship will be on Friday, July 27 at the Lincoln Elks Country Club in Lincoln, Illinois.

The Golf Outing for Scholarship was created by former Athletic Director, Men’s Basketball Coach, and Dean of Students Allen Pickering in 2001. Since then, generous support from players and sponsors has grown the Allen Pickering Athletic Endowed Scholarship Fund to over $250,000.

The golf outing and awards presentation and dinner is the major athletic fundraising event for Lincoln College. This year, it is especially significant because Lincoln College will begin participating in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as a full four-year school, as part of the College’s return to its roots as a bachelor’s degree-granting institution.

Typically, the outing at the Elks Country Club and the awards presentation and dinner at Lincoln Center at Lincoln College on Friday evening sell out well in advance of the events and this year is no exception.

Golfers will play the morning or the afternoon session. Morning session registration begins at 7 a.m. with a shotgun start at 7:45 a.m. Afternoon session registration begins at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Lunch is provided for all golfers from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Elks Ballroom. Following the afternoon session, dinner is also provided in the Lincoln Center on the campus of Lincoln College. The reception begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and awards at approximately 6 p.m.
