Heavy rain set in during the second hole of play, causing the course to be too soaked for play. So organizers postponed the event and will reschedule the tournament for the spring of 2014.<\/p>\n
The good news: The tournament raised over $65,000 for Burnett school graduate student fellowships and had more than 90 golfers, including UCF President John C. Hitt and Pat Campano, father of College of Medicine vice president for medical affairs and dean, Dr. Deborah German. \u00a0\u201cThe glass is always half full, and today it was really overflowing,\u201d mused Dean German.\u00a0 \u201cThat money goes to support graduate students who will do the research that will save the lives of our future children and grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tournament honored the late Al and Nancy Burnett, devoted UCF supporters, whose generosity created the Burnett school. Plans are already underway to set a new date for the tournament that will be open to all fall participants.\u00a0 \u201cWe invite everyone who\u2019s become a part of this tournament to please come and be our guests,\u201d said Charles (Chip) Roberts, the College of Medicine\u2019s assistant vice president for development.\u00a0 \u201cSave your mulligans, and we\u2019ll all be back to have a great time in the spring.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Dr. German hopes to brush up on her own golfing skills. \u201cI look forward to seeing you back here in the spring,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m told by Dad and one of the faculty members, I\u2019ll be good enough to play by then!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heavy rain set in during the second hole of play, causing the course to be too soaked for play.
