Students, faculty, staff, alumni, family, and friends/sponsors of Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) participated in the 6th Annual BU ASDA Golf Tournament on May 9, 2015. The event was held at the Norwood Country Club in Norwood, Massachusetts on a beautiful Spring Saturday.
Registration began at 12 p.m., followed by a putting contest. Garrett Wingrove DMD 17 won the putting contest after sinking a remarkable 50 foot putt. A shot gun start at 1 p.m. quickly got the day rolling for the 46 golfers, including 58 students, 3 faculty members, 4 staff members, 3 alumni, and 10 family members, friends, sponsors, and many others in attendance to help support the players. Playing with a “best ball” format, the winning team included Jon Enright DMD 15, Andrew Mancini DMD 15, Lyle Smith DMD 15, and John Vasko DMD 15. They had a team score of 58, which was 13 under par.
Following the tournament, the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine American Student Dental Association (BUGSDM ASDA) hosted a well-attended awards presentation and buffet dinner. Various awards were given including “Closest to the Pin” to Adrian DeVincenzo DMD 15. Keely Matheson DMD 15 won the “Ladies Long Drive” and Spencer Burns DMD 15 won the “Men’s Long Drive.” There was no winner for the $5,000 hole-in-one contest, but there is always hope for next year, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 2016.
