INDIANAPOLIS - This year's IUPUI Michael A. Carroll Golf Outing, held on Friday (May 19), continued its mission of raising funds for Jaguar student-athletes scholarships. The event, named after longtime fundraiser and advocate Mike Carroll, was played at Maple Creek Golf Club on the city's Eastside.
Carroll, the former Deputy Mayor and Lilly Endowment official, formed the present-day Jaguars Athletics Fund and golf outing, which recently surpassed 40 years. This year's event was presented by Citizens Energy Group.
This year's winning team, spearheaded by head golf coach Jamie Broce and volunteer assistant Sean Lampton, posted a score of 55 (17-under). John Ray collected the longest drive prize while C.D. Smith was closest to the pin winner.
The 19-team field included three former recipients of the annual Michael A. Carroll Scholarship in Greg Weiler (2001), Louis Kisic (2004) and Katrina McCrory (2009).
"It was truly a great day to be a Jaguar and to see all the smiles and hugs among the participants," IUPUI Senior Associate A.D. Ed Holdaway said. "There are a lot of people that take tremendous pride in what our department is all about and the Carroll Golf Outing is an annual celebration to the continued growth of the program.
"We thank all the participants - both first time and long time participants - as well as all the corporate partners for their contributions to the outing and our program. In addition, we're grateful to our friends at Maple Creek for hosting the event."
