golfMason Recreation hosted its annual Golf Tournament Friday, May 8 with 70 players completing 18 holes at Penderbrook Golf Course.  This year’s tournament brought together Mason students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members for a day of fun and fundraising that brought in more than $3,100 for Mason Recreation’s Student Development Fund.

Brian Money, tournament coordinator and Program Assistant Intern says, “The Student Development Fund, part of the GMU Foundation, is used to send students to local, regional and national NIRSA events to better their professional experiences. I’ve personally had the opportunity to attend and the connections I’ve made have been invaluable.”

  • 1st place, winning a wine tour courtesy of Naked Mountain Winery, were Craig Esherick, Martin Ford, Dominique Banville, and Gary Galluzzo
  • 2nd place, winning a set of Nike Golf Balls, were Colby Grant, Connor Xavios, Benn Crandall, and Steve Morehouse
