Golf open to benefit UW-Superior Native American Scholarship Fund
With all proceeds to benefit the Native American Scholarship Fund at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, the 2017 Johnson Open promises to be a day of fun for a great cause. The event will take place Friday, July 28, at 9 a.m. at the Nemadji Golf Club in Superior.
The Johnson Open Scholarship Fund will provide a $1,000 scholarship to assist a Native American UW-Superior student with their education.
Two-person teams will take part in a unique format involving six holes of best ball play, six holes of alternate shot play and six holes scramble style.
The $30 entry fee per person includes a meal and door prizes. Greens and cart fees are extra.
UW-Superior's First Nations Center seeks to promote an understanding and awareness of Indian people through a curriculum in First Nations Studies that leads to a minor. The program provides the opportunity for Indians and non-Indians alike to increase their knowledge of the origin of Indian people in terms of history, culture and philosophy.
For additional information, contact Gary Johnson at the UW-Superior First Nations Center at (715) 394-8358. Limited spots are available. To sign up, contact the Nemadji Golf Club at (715) 394-0266.
