The 11th annual West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcat Open will be held on Monday, June 19 at the Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport, WV. This annual fundraiser by Wesleyan brings alumni and friends together in a lavish setting as an exciting day of golf on one of the most scenic and highly rated courses in the United States is expected.

“We are planning a number of exciting contests and we are expecting alumni from all over the country to participate,” says Robert Skinner, director of marketing and communication.  “We have changed the format this year from a scramble to a shamble, which will allow everyone to have the opportunity to play more shots from many different places on this beautiful course.”

Officially opening in 1995, the Pete Dye Golf Club is already ranked as the second ‘Greatest Golf Course of the Modern Era.’ The course reflects a true integration of the game and the West Virginia environment. The course features remnants of coal mining activity, including exposed, strip mined high walls, a rotary car tipple, coal-laden mine cars, a cart path through a once active deep mine, and waterfalls that originate from deep mining activity of days gone by.

The entry fee will be $150, which includes tee gift, cart, green fee, box lunch, dinner, and awards. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring a tee-box or green, donating a prize(s), suggesting some other arrangements, or for more information regarding the Bobcat Open, please contact Skinner by phone at (304) 473-8557 or by e-mail at Skinner_b@wvwc.edu.
