1st Annual Ian McConnell Golf Tournament

Friends and former classmates of the late Ian McConnell (’95) are hosting the first annual Ian McConnell "Handy Best Ball" invitational golf tournament June 21 at the Amherst Golf and Country Club, in support of the Ian McConnell Memorial Bursary.

Ian graduated with a bachelor of commerce in 1995. Following his sudden passing in 2002, a few of his good friends started the Ian McConnell Bursary Fund as a way for Ian's legacy to remain in the hearts and minds of his friends, family and the students who would attend Mount A after him.

Providing financial aid to students at need, the bursary has already helped several Mount Allison students since its inception, and tournament organizers see the fund raiser as an opportunity to ensure it continues to make a difference in McConnell's name.

Tournament registration is $52.50 per player and includes 18 holes, a golf cart, as well as the dinner and awards reception to be held at the Olive Branch in Sackville.

Contests will be held for the longest drive, closest to the pin, as well as a hole-in-one shootout to win a dream golf vacation in Scotland (retail value of $6,800.) Registration begins at noon with tee-off at 1 p.m.

The tournament is open to all Mount Allison University alumni and friends of Ian McConnell.
