The numbers are in for our 2022 Patrick Dooley Memorial Golf Tournament. A total of $10,735.90 was raised, with $8,485.90 going to Turfgrass Research and the remainder split between KPU Turf student award recipients Daniel Lee, Mat Bursey and Doug Chadwick. Theodore Fong and Josh Carlsen also received awards from our Patrick Dooley Endowment Fund.
Patrick Dooley was a promising young golfer preparing to graduate from high school. He was excited about a career in the golf industry and planned to enroll in the KPU Turf Management Diploma program fall 2008 intake when he died of a sudden illness.
A new season is underway at the ATRF, having hosted our Annual General Meeting in late April, we were pleased to renew all 10 positions on the board and welcome new director Leanne Nadwidny among Foundation directors.
Every year, the WCTA sets aside up to $2500 for deserving students enrolled in an accredited Turfgrass Management program.
