2009 Theta Chi Golf Open Wrap-Up

This past Friday, May 1st, 23 brothers took to the links for the 28th annual Theta Chi Golf Open. For the 2nd year in a row, Bob Mausser won the illustrious Red Jacket and trophy with shooting an 84. The other big part of the weekend was rasing money for the Ken Oeschger Scholarship Fund, which I'm happy to say we rasied $755. Here are some of the highlights from the tournament and weekend.
