WWU Soccer Golf - Nine Hole Course

We used to play soccer golf when I was a student at Western back in the late 80's... I'm not sure if others have since, but either way, I thought it would be fun to put an "official" course together for people to have fun with.

























For anyone heading to Bham to participate in the Soccer Golf at 10am on May 14th, 2011, I will have printed copies of the course and instructions for you.

UPDATED INFO - WWU Soccer Alumni to gather in B-ham - Saturday May 14, 2011



Hello All,

With less than two months before the soccer alumni shindig, it's time to start cementing the details for this fun event. If you haven't made plans to head back to Bellingham the weekend of May 14th, and join a bunch of your old soccer buddies from days gone by, then what are you waiting for! Get on it... reserve the dates... and prep your family for a roadtrip north!

ATTENDANCE
This is the one you've been waiting for! I'm guessing many of you haven't been back to campus in years... well, a lot has changed, and it's a perfect opportunity to head back and check out your old alma matter. The response has been great, and I'm confident there will be many people in attendance who played for Western decades ago! Here's a partial list of the old folks you'll more than likely be kicking the ball around with that weekend... Stephanie Armesto, Jim Bialek, Dan and Jennie Bubar, Tom Bunnell, Debbie Carter, Blaine Donnelson, Jon Fleck, Cindy Gordon, Scott Harrington, Doug Keller, Darin Koob, Pete LaBarge, Dave and Erica Miller, Kevin and Jeanne Quinn, Mike Saunders, Tom Venable, etc! So, keep spreading the word and plan on joining us for this long overdue reunion!


T-SHIRTS
The plan is to get some t-shirts printed for all attending soccer alumni... thus, let me know by May 1st if you’ll be attending any of the alumni soccer functions that weekend... and get a free shirt!


LODGING AND TRANSPORTATION
If you have any questions about where to stay or how to get there, check out the Back to Bellingham website... a great resource for the weekend.
