Westside Open Raises $30K a complete list of our sponsors and donors by visiting www.westsidegolf.com. Anytime Westside alumni, administrators, current and retired, and friends come together on a golf course, a little hijinks may be expected. Is that white orb out there a ball or a marshmallow? Only Team Master Gators knew for sure. “I thought the event went very well. We were able to raise some money, see old friends, make new friends and recognize members of the Westside Hall of Fame,” said Rob.

On June 29, 2015 sunny skies and warm temperatures welcomed over 200 golfers participating in The 2015 Westside Open at The Players Club. The four-person scramble, which was hosted by the Westside Alumni Association and the Westside Community Schools Foundation, raised over $30,000. Proceeds from the event will fund scholarships, teacher and staff awards, special projects, alumni gifts to Westside High School and the Westside Hall of Fame awards.
Family awaited golfers once their rounds were completed. All participants received a FootJoy golf glove with magnetic marker embossed with the beloved Shield and a commemorative gift box of logoed golf balls. Prizes were given to the top three teams in each of the four flights, 45 flag prizes were awarded and over 120 door prizes were distributed. The first lucky raffle winner took home a Scotty Cameron putter and Players Club foursome.
Morning golfers were treated to delicious donuts and coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Both morning and afternoon golfers enjoyed brats and burgers for lunch. A fantastic prime rib dinner sponsored by Koley Jessen, P.C. and the Doug Riley (’67)
Kathryn (Hawkins) Anderson (’00) and Patricia (Hawkins) Stillmock (’05) were once again the Presenting Sponsors of this year’s event. “Kathryn and Patricia and the entire Hawkins family have been such great sponsors and supporters of this event over the years” said Rob Owen (’87), this year’s event chairman.

RBC Capital Markets and RBC Wealth Management were Patron Hole Sponsors. DLR Group and Security National Bank sponsored the Prize Drawing just to name a few. “We directly attribute the success of this event to all of the sponsors who make this tournament possible, said Rob.
