Friday
Golf
Painted Hills Golf Club
7101 Parallel Pkwy, KC, KS 66112
$75 Alum, $20 Active/Associate
The Active/Alumni golf tournament is a perennial favorite. We've chosen course, reserved the tee times and carts, will stock up on beverages and now you just need to find a cart mate, show up and have fun. Sign up for golf by 10/17! First tee time is 9 am. Lunch is on your own. If you need help finding a cart mate or are a last minute registrant, contact Ryan Talley. This is a doubles tournament - so best cart shares the trophy.
Social & dinner at the house!
Regardless of whether you play golf, join us Friday afternoon after 3 pm at the Phi Tau house as we regale the tall tails of the hole in one ... that almost happened. The undergrads are throwing us a party! and showing off their new digs. Dinner is included for those who RSVP for the social!
1137 Indiana Street, Lawrence
$10 Alum, $0 Active/Associate
There may be limited parking at the house and be prepared for a walk up a steep gravel drive! Another alternative is Spencer Museum/Union Parking just .2 mi from the house toward Jayhawk Blvd. We recommend entering the parking garage from Mississippi and park on one of the bottom two free levels. Don't want to walk? We've got you covered. Call an associate to shuttle you to the house! Numbers will be provided day of event.
Not a golfer? If you're looking for a place to gather before heading to the house, we recommend The Bird Dog Bar at the Oread. It's just about 300' away!
