The Sigma Nu Fraternity at West Texas A&M University held their annual golf tournament on April 26. The tournament started at 8:00 a.m. at Comanche Trails Golf Course in Amarillo, Texas. Sigma Nu’s tournament was held in support for their philanthropy, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

 

The men of Sigma Nu had a successful tournament with many sponsorships and teams. The tournament consisted of thirteen different teams composed of four players per team. The teams competed for prizes. The teams competed for the first place price which was a $600 gift certificate to Comanche Trails pro shop, the second place prize was a $400 gift certificate to the shop and the third place prize was a $200 gift certificate to the shop.

 

“The golf tournament is a great opportunity for members in our community to join together in supporting a great cause like St. Judes,” Aaron Martin, senior in Sigma Nu, said.

 

Throughout the weeks leading up to the tournament, the members worked hard to get as many sponsors and teams as possible. On Sunday morning, the members were ready to start the tournament that they had been working to put together.

 

“The morning of the tournament when all of the deadlines have passed, everything is beyond our control,” Hayden Walsh, golf committee chairman, said. “Knowing that all of our hard work is about to blossom into a successful event that will raise a lot of money for charity is the best feeling in the world.”

 

The tournament was a success for Sigma Nu, golfers and St. Jude Children’s Hospital. The members all worked hard and put on a successful event that was enjoyed by all.

 

“Being able to give back the such a great organization and the people of St Jude’s is always heartwarming to me,” Cullan Howe, candidate marshal, said.

 

Sigma Nu plans to host another golf classic next spring to support St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
