2004 Golf Tournament on May 22

Dear Alum:
The Florida International University Alumni Association will host the 2004 FIU Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 22, 2004 at the beautiful Doral Resort & Spa. A portion of the proceeds will be dedicated to the FIU Alumni Association Scholarship Fund.

Doral has partnered with FIU’s Alumni Association to present this hallmark tournament to you! Join us in a spectacular day of golf and fun.

BLUE MONSTER – There is no more challenging or spectacular golf course than the famous Blue Monster. Virtually every great name in golf has had a moment of glorious personal triumph on this world-class course. Come and see the changes Doral has made to five of the holes on this course to put the “teeth” back in the Monster. Holes 3, 8, 11, 14 and 18 have been redesigned and was first seen at the PGA Tour Ford Championship in March. The Monster is ranked by Golf Magazine as one of America’s Best Resort Courses.

GOLD COURSE – Originally designed by Bob Von Hagge and Devlin design team in 1968, the course was redesigned by Raymond Floyd in 1995. The Gold Course follows a traditional Florida layout, with gently contoured greens, strategic bunkering, and water surrounding 16 holes. Unique to the Gold Course is the challenging island green 18th hole where walking away with a par feels like you’ve gotten away with something.

The tournament will commence with Breakfast and Registration at 6:30 am and an exciting Short Game Clinic by the staff of the Jim McLean Golf Academy at 7:00 am. An 8:00 am Shotgun start will be followed by an exciting One Million Dollar Hole In One opportunity for four of our lucky raffle winners and a gourmet luncheon and awards ceremony.

The backdrop for this year's golf tournament will be the Doral Resort & Spa.

Fees for the tournament will be $250 for an individual and $1,000 for foursomes.
