Report of 2nd Annual Tee It Up for Truth Golf Tournament

Beautiful weather, a long-driving Dominican, and the steadfast support of our community made for a perfect day at Oakland Metropolitan Golf Course. Twenty-two foursomes hit the links after an energizing breakfast. All were determined to beat Br. Peter Hannah’s 349-yard long drive, a shot that landed only a few yards from the green but none came within 40 yards of Br. Peter’s shot.

At the end of the day, participants gathered for a delicious BBQ dinner followed by a successful auction and raffle draw. The evening wrapped up with an awards ceremony for first and second place teams, longest-putt, longest-drive and closest-to-the-hole winners. Congratulations to the winning team that came in with a 56 - Lance Russum, Philip Boehm, Ron Scalise and Bill Westernoff.

From all of us at DSPT, a special thank you to those who helped to make this year’s tournament a huge success. The money raised will go directly to providing scholarships for clerical and lay students, resources for student recruitment, curriculum development, advertising and much more. We look forward to next year’s golf event. If you have any recommendations for how to make the event bigger or better or are interested in volunteering to organize it, please contact us at advancement@dspt.edu.
