Set aside Thursday, August 22 to spend a day golfing with your colleagues and guests at the beautiful Ames Golf & Country Club in Ames, Iowa! That’s the day of the AASV Foundation’s annual Midwest Golf Outing, a friendly best-ball team event that helps support the foundation endowment fund. Registration materials will be available in the July/August issue of the Journal of Swine Health and Production, coming soon. You may register a team of four golfers, or come as an individual and we’ll assign you to a team. Registration is requested by August 8.
Golfer check-in begins at 9:00 am the day of the event. Coffee and pastries will be provided along with an opportunity to hit a few practice balls on the driving range. The best-ball competition begins with a shotgun start at 10:00 am. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course, and a reception will follow the golfing to recognize team and individual contest winners. Registration includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart rental, morning refreshments, lunch, and the concluding reception with awards.

Proceeds from the golf outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to "Ensure our Future…Create a Legacy" for swine veterinarians. Income generated by the endowment enables the Foundation to fund programs such as the Swine Externship Grants for senior veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, and funding for research with director application to the profession.
