EDWARDSVILLE - On September 29, the Southwest Chapter of the Illinois Professional Land Surveyors Association held their 6th Annual SIUE Land Surveying Specialization Golf Scramble at Oak Brook Golf Club in Edwardsville. This event raises money for scholarships presented to students pursuing a degree in the School of Engineering at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a Land Surveying Specialization. Information about the Land Surveying Specialization program can be found on the SIUE website.
It was a perfect autumn afternoon and twenty-two golfers met at the Oak Brook Golf Club to network, enjoy great food, play a round of golf and help students on their path to becoming Professional Land Surveyors. Each 2-person team competed for the best score on Oak Brook's challenging front nine hole course. The competition was friendly but fierce. When the round was completed, three teams were tied for the lowest score and the scores from the first three holes were used to break the tie. The winning team of Josh Saunders of TWM, Inc., and Kevin Gunterman of Heneghan & Associates, P.C. celebrated their first victory at this event.
