After a very successful inaugural tournament in 2015, the UMW Athletics is excited to announce the 2nd Annual Eagle Club Golf Tournament will return for Family Weekend 2016!
The Eagle Club is the fundraising arm of UMW Athletics and its mission is to maximize opportunities and strengthen support services for Mary Washington's student-athletes in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The inaugural EC Golf Tournament raised just over $10,000!
Included in the $150 cost to play is a $50 "Flight Level" donation to the Eagle Club. The tournament will also provide range balls, free drinks on the course, a pre-tournament lunch and post-tournament dinner, great prizes and more! Golfers may sign up individually, with a pair, or an entire foursome.
Registration is now open and will stay open until September 2, 2016 or until the event sells out.

The event will return to Augustine Golf Club, home of UMW Men's Golf which begins their first season as a varsity sport this fall. The program will be immediately eligible for CAC and NCAA championships. Women's Golf will be UMW's 23rd sport program and will begin play next fall.
A message from the Director of Athletics, Ken Tyler:
The Eagle Club Golf Tournament is an opportunity to celebrate and support the University of Mary Washington's tradition of athletic excellence. Whether you're a scratch golfer, a weekend hacker, or you've never picked up a club, your support of this event will make an immediate impact on the success of our student athletes and the quality of our athletic programs. Our goal is to have all athletic programs across all eras represented. The event is more than just an opportunity to get together. We want you to reconnect with old teammates, visit old friends and make new ones, and meet the staff. But we do this with purpose: the golfing will be great, but we gather to support UMW student athletes.
We have a great tradition and great pride because of many present and past who have supported those who wear the navy and gray. Let's keep it going. I look forward to seeing you show your commitment at the 2nd Annual Eagle Club Golf Tournament. Thank you!
