Save the date! The popular AASV Foundation Golf Outing is set for Thursday, August 21 at Fox Ridge Golf Club in Dike, Iowa. The foundation is pleased to recognize the industry sponsors who have provided generous support to keep golfers “fed and watered” during the event: Uniferon (dinner), Aivlosin (lunch), and Harrisvaccines (beverages). In addition, golf hole sponsors Zoetis, Norsvin, Insight Wealth Group, and Alltech will keep golfers engaged with some extra games and activities on the course.
AASV members, industry stakeholders, and guests are invited to register a 4-person team to enjoy this friendly 18-hole best-ball tournament. Individuals and couples are also welcome to register and will be assigned to a team. Golfers will test their combined skills against the challenges of the course and compete in individual contests along the way. Pre-registration is required; registration for the event will open in June and registrations are due August 7.
Golfer check-in begins at 11:00 AM the day of the event, with the driving range available for warming up with a few practice balls. The four-person team, best-ball competition gets underway at 12:00 noon with a shotgun start. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course. Following the golfing, team and individual contest winners will be recognized during a pork chop dinner.
The registration fee includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart rental, lunch, beverages, awards dinner and prizes. Proceeds from the outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to “ensure our future…create a legacy” for swine veterinarians. Income generated by the event helps fund foundation programs such as swine externship grants for veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, research funding, student intern support, and heritage member videos.
