Almost 30 years ago William E. Haas, former Procurement Officer at Duke University spearheaded a campaign for a scholarship fund to help members attend professional development courses. Professional development helps foster procurement practices that are at the leading edge and that enables our membership to continually respond to the changing needs and goals of their universities with strategies that work.
Gerald F. Evans Golf Tournament
6:00 AM 3:00 PM Sun - 4/6/2008
Only 15 minutes from downtown Austin, everything a golfer dreams of is at ShadowGlen. ShadowGlen is a unique club that is designed, built and managed by golfers with the golfer's needs in mind.
The course was built by the prestigious Golf Works, Inc., 2001 National Large Builder of the Year as selected by Golf Course News. In an effort to raise the bar of the public golf experience in Central Texas, Golf Works created what some are calling the premier golf experience at any price, public or private.
Once you play it, you'll understand these accolades. The TifEagle greens are undulating and meant to be speedy while the TifSport Bermuda provides the finest fairways available. The new Y2 zoysia grass, usually reserved for the finest private courses, lines the bunker walls.
