Registration Deadline: Friday, August 1st, 2008 at Noon. Everyone must register online.

Michigan Ave., 49008. Mail stop 5447. There is a late registration option if you choose to add after August 1st, cost is $38 dollars.
Details: Since the goal of this outing is to "build community" at WMU, people may register as a single (and be matched up with someone) or as a double. Doubles will be matched up with another pair from another department within WMU to create a foursome. This will give you the opportunity to meet new colleagues. Golf will conclude at the clubhouse with a light meal- seasoned chicken, pasta, salad, soft drink and cash bar available. Name tags will be provided.
Note: This event is limited to 72 people.

Scramble Format - An example of Scramble would be as follows: If player A hits the ball on the fairway and player B hits the ball in the water, the “Best Ball” is the ball on the fairway. All players hit from the Best Ball location. It is fun and everyone can golf and not feel pressured.
Shotgun Start - A shotgun start begins with all groups of players teeing off simultaneously from different holes. Each hole on a course will be the tee off hole for each foursome. Group 1 would start from hole 1, Group 2 from hole 2, etc.. Each group starts play at the same time. A shotgun start will allow all of us to end at the same time and eat together. If there are more than 9 teams, some double up at the par 4 and/or 5 holes.
Longest Drive - A longest drive contest will involve teeing off and seeing who got the longest drive in the fairway on a particular hole. A Men's and women's prize will be awarded.
Mulligan - An example of a mulligan is when a golfer hits the ball terribly and gets another chance. There is a 2 mulligan limit per foursome.
