Golf Tournament Raises $3,500 for Scholarship Fund

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:00:00 GMT

Dozens of Houston-area golf enthusiasts took to the greens April 30 to raise money for the OU Club of Houston scholarship fund. The golf tournament was held at River Ridge Golf Club in Sealy, just west of Houston. Sixteen teams comprised of 63 players competed, raising $3,500 for the scholarship fund.

“We are very pleased with the success of this year’s golf tournament,” said Tray Black, OU Club of Houston scholarship chairman. “The support from so many Houston OU alums has been extraordinary. The money raised will greatly benefit Houston-area high school student recipients who plan to attend the University of Oklahoma this fall.”

Each year, the OU Club of Houston awards two scholarships to outstanding Houston-area high school seniors who plan to attend the University of Oklahoma, one in the name of the OU Club of Houston, and the second in the name of Robert and Jerry Simmer. Each scholarship is worth $2,000 per year, consisting of a $1,000 cash award from the OU Club of Houston and a matching $1,000 fee waiver from the University. It is renewable for three additional years provided the recipient maintains at least a 3.0 grade point average and remains enrolled as a full-time student.
