1 1994 Benedictine University President s Invitational Golf Outing 2016 Sponsorship2016 Opportunities

2 The 21st anniversary of the President s Invitational Golf Outing was the end of an era. This was the last outing hosted by President William J. Carroll, Ph.D. While we have said goodbye to Dr. Carroll, it is now time to welcome Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D., M.F.A., who began serving as the president of Benedictine University in August. This year you will get the chance to meet both our new president and Ben Crenshaw! The past year we were able to continue helping our students with much needed scholarship dollars as well as collecting funds for the Fr. Kevin Sheeran, O.S.B., Textbook Program at two holes on the course. As always the golf and entertainment throughout the day is fantastic, the real reason for this event is to support our students with scholarship dollars. Benedictine continues to explore numerous ways to help our students fund their education of which this golf outing is one. The dreams of many continue to depend on our efforts. It is our hope that we are again able to help more than 170 students between tuition scholarships and the textbook program. These students will be able to continue their Benedictine education due to the generosity of both sponsors and guests at the 2016 President s Invitational Golf Outing our 22 nd anniversary. 1

3 Ben Crenshaw will be the celebrity guest this year. The interview program has been so well received that Crenshaw will also utilize this format as he will bring along his partner on the SiriusXM radio show, Crenshaw on Golf, Ed Clements. Clements will conduct the interview. We are adding a couple of new things this year. We will be golfing at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club and look forward to the same high caliber golf experience. Additionally, the date for this year s outing has changed. New date: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 and tee-off is at 1:00 p.m. Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D., M.F.A. President, Benedictine University 2

4 Celebrity Guest BEN CRENSHAW, one of golf s greatest putters, was involved in two of the most emotional golf course scenes of the 1990s. First was his victory at the 1995 Masters, just days after the death of his mentor and friend, the legendary golf teacher Harvey Penick. Crenshaw was a pallbearer at Penick s funeral on Wednesday, then teed off in The Masters on Thursday. Four days later, Crenshaw was Masters champion. After his final putt, he collapsed into the arms of his caddie while the tears flowed. In 1999, Crenshaw was Ryder Cup captain at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., where the U.S. team was far behind following Saturday s matches. I m a big believer in fate, Crenshaw said that night. I have a good feeling about tomorrow. That s all I m gonna say. The next day, Team USA staged its greatest Ryder Cup comeback ever, culminating in a raucous celebration on the 17th green when Justin Leonard s long putt sealed it for the Americans. After his competitive days on the PGA Tour ended, Crenshaw focused on golf course design, and played part-time on the Champions Tour (he never won on the senior circuit). With partner Bill Coore, Crenshaw designed some of the most acclaimed golf courses of the 1990s and early 21st century, including Kapalua Bay Resort in Hawaii, Sand Hills Golf Club in Nebraska, two courses at Oregon s Bandon Dunes complex and Friars Head in New York. Crenshaw and Coore were also selected for a restoration of the No. 2 Course at Pinehurst. Crenshaw was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in In his senior years, Crenshaw, a historian of golf as well, has served as an ambassador for the Hall of Fame. He also replaced Byron Nelson as the master of ceremonies at the annual Champions Dinner during Masters week once Nelson was no longer able to attend. 3
