Over 100 golfers took to the course in support of a good cause to raise sports funding.
On Aug. 29, the greens were full for the 2024 Lakeland Rustlers Golf Tournament. The event brought together student-athletes, athletes and those looking for a good game of golf.
Funds from the event went to supporting championship teams to ensure they have the necessary funds to compete at significant levels each year.
“For most of us, golf isn’t about how well you play, It’s how much fun you have on the fairways. We hope all who participated in our golf tournament had a great time, all for a great cause,” Alan Rogan, athletics director at Lakeland College.
$37,000 was raised to support the teams. Rogan says the money will have a huge impact on the students’ ability to compete and hopefully bring home national gold in the upcoming season.
Last year, both the women’s basketball and volleyball teams brought home Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) gold medals. The Rustlers compete in men and women’s basketball, volleyball, soccer, futsal, curling, rowing, rodeo and women’s hockey.
