Register now to enjoy a swine day of golf on August 22, when the AASV Foundation returns to Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa, for its annual Midwest Golf Outing. You’ll be joining the following event sponsors in supporting the AASV Foundation: Dinner Sponsor Zoetis, Lunch Sponsor Pharmgate Animal Health, and Golf Hole Sponsors Alltech, AVMA PLIT, Harrisvaccines, Insight Wealth Group, and Zoetis. Registrations for the 4-person team, 18-hole best-ball tournament are due August 8. Individuals and couples are welcome to register and will be assigned to a team. In addition to the team competition, the course will be peppered with individual contests to add to the fun.
Golfer check-in begins at 10:00 AM the day of the event, with the driving range available for warming up with a few practice balls. The competition gets underway at 11:30 AM with a shotgun start. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course. Following the golfing, team and individual contest winners will be recognized (with prizes!) during a pork 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 member recollection videos.
