Prepare to Tee Up!

June 24, 2015 — AASV Staff

It's time to assemble your golf team! The popular AASV Foundation Golf Outing is set for Thursday, August 20 (11:00 AM - 6:00 PM) at the Landsmeer Golf Club in Orange City, Iowa. Several sponsors have confirmed their support of the event: Beverage cart sponsor Harrisvaccines will ensure that golfers are kept hydrated on the course, and golf hole sponsors Chr Hansen, Elanco, Insight Wealth Group, Merck, Phibro, and Zoetis are planning games and giveaways at the tee boxes. And Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. has assumed sponsorship of the Awards Dinner that will conclude the day's activities. Proceeds from the outing provide support for AASV Foundation programs such as swine externship grants for veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV meeting, research funding, Swine Medicine Education Center tuition grants, heritage member videos, and more. To register for the outing, submit the form available here by August 6.

This will be the foundation's second visit to Landsmeer, as the scenic course was the site of the 2011 golf outing. Landsmeer was named 18-Hole Course of the Year in 2008 by the Iowa Golf Association, and #1 Municipal Golf Course in the state of Iowa in 2009 by Golf Digest. Designed by Kansas City golf course architect Don Sechrest, the prairie-style course sprawls over 160 acres of rolling Iowa hills, and features bent grass greens and bluegrass fairways. The holes are lined with tall native grasses, providing a rippling lake effect to players. Lakes and streams offer challenges on the front nine, while a links-style atmosphere is found on the back side. For a sneak peek of the course, visit http://landsmeergolfclub.com.
