Much more than par for the course: W Club Golf Tournament and awards reception

—Staff report

More than 90 students, coaches, community members and Whittie alumni spanning the generations participated in the eighth annual W Club Golf Tournament last weekend to reconnect and raise money for Whitman's 15 varsity athletic teams.

After completing their round at the Walla Walla Country Club, many golfers made their way to the Reid Campus Center at Whitman to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of the W Club over a festive dinner.

"We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day," said Jennifer Dilworth Northam '91, assistant director of Alumni Relations and one of the organizers of the festivities. "And we are so grateful for the loyalty that Whitties demonstrate year in and year out."
