Vikings Announce Virtual Golf Outing

The Cleveland State University women’s soccer program has announced its 2020 Vikings Women’s Soccer Virtual Golf Outing, which will take place between September 22nd and October 11th, 2020. 

 “Right now, we are all finding new and creative ways to try and ‘get back to normal,’ all while making sure to do so as safely and cautiously as possible. “In that same approach, we are excited to offer this fun alternative to the golf outing fundraiser that we had to cancel over the summer. As many of our families, friends, alumni, and supporters are looking for ways to reengage with us and the team this fall, the golf outing gives us a chance to come together and provide much needed support to the program in a time of real need.” - Dallas Boyer, Head Coach

The two-person scramble event will allow golfers to play one 18-hole round at any desired golf course between September 22nd and October 18th, 2020. Golfers will use a traditional scramble format to determine their score and will post their scores on the 18 Birdies app under Cleveland State Women’s Soccer – 2 Person Scramble (Code to join 18 Birdies Tournament - 9669). If you are not an 18 Birdies app user, you may email an image of your scorecard to c.contrascier@csuohio.edu.  

The top two teams will receive prizes, courtesy of our women’s soccer program and Vikings Outfitters Bookstore. 

The cost to register for the event is $30.00 per participant, in addition to course fees. The $30.00 registration fee is tax deductible and will directly support the CSU women’s soccer program. Everyone who registers, and submits a score, will be invited to attend a Zoom “State of the Women’s Soccer Program” address with Head Coach Dallas Boyer and other special guests on Monday, October 19 at 7 p.m., in addition to receiving a $10.00 gift card to Topgolf, courtesy of Cleveland State Athletics’ partnership with Topgolf Cleveland (valid at all Topgolf locations, with the exception of Las Vegas).
