Blackwatch Golf Classic: Thank You

Blackwatch2016Sponsors-ThankYouThe 19th Annual YHS Blackwatch Golf Classic was a huge success! From the group who dressed up as ‘80s rock stars to Phil Kern, the true reincarnation of Magnum P.I., the event was loads of fun for the 120 YHS parents, staff, and friends who attended at University Golf Club.

We’ll announce a date for the big 20th celebration sometime soon, and hope we can enjoy an even bigger crowd. Remember, it’s not about the golf (yes, we know some of you hate golf!), it’s about the laughs, the good times … and the bad outfits. A big thank you to our sponsors, silent auction donors, and volunteers. Without you, the event would not have been a success.
