Lakewood, CA --The 2005 CSUDH Toros Scholarship Golf Classic was held last Friday, June 3, at the beautiful Lakewood Country Club in Lakewood, CA, nearly selling out the major fundraiser which benefits CSUDH student-athlete scholarships.

The Golf Classic, a four-person scramble event which began with a 6 a.m. registration / continental breakfast and a 7:00 a.m. shotgun start, provided a festive forum for all Toros supporters to enjoy a classic day of golf while benefiting CSUDH athletic scholarships for the 2005-06 season. Linksters enjoyed a perfect morning at the country club, located just 10 minutes south of the Carson campus, as they participated in a hole-in-one contest and longest drive and closest-to-the-pin events, with the grand prize being a 2005 Mustang.

After the competition, golfers enjoyed a buffet lunch sandwiched between silent and live auctions. Items for those events consisted of autographed basketballs by Magic Johnson and legendary head coach John Wooden, tickets to L.A. Dodgers and L.A. Angels of Anaheim baseball games, a Dave Matthews Band concert and both L.A. Galaxy and Chivas USA soccer matches, a weekend getaway in a Holiday Inn suite and various autographed items from local product and regular visitor to the Carson campus Nomar Garciaparra, among others.

“The 2005 Toros Scholarship Golf Classic was a huge success,” said CSUDH Assistant Athletics Director and Toros Scholarship Golf Classic Chair Lamel Harris. “It continues to get bigger and better and this year was no exception. I would like to thank those who contributed their time and energy to make this event so successful, and those whose contributions directly benefited Toros student-athlete scholarships. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.”
