The 31st Annual University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame & Museum Celebrity Golf Tournament to benefit the Hurricane Club attracted many professional and UM athletes and proved to be a tremendous success.
Hosted by UMSHoF&M member and All-American decathlete Aaron Moser, it took place at the luxurious Biltmore Golf Course on Oct. 19 as more than 120 golfers took to the course for the sold-out event and enjoyed a beautiful South Florida fall day.
Participating in the 18-hole event were more than two dozen UMSHoF&M members including former track coach and UMSHoF&M president Mike Ward, former football coach Dennis Erickson, current baseball coach J.D. Arteaga, former golf coach Lela Cannon, 1992 Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta, NFL Hall of Fame member Warren Sapp, Jack McClinton, Alonzo Highsmith, KC Jones, Brett Romberg, Rich Mercier, Julie Cohen, Jodi Appelbaum Steinbauer, Janet Haas, Javy Rodriguez, David Gil, Kevin Brown, Steve Edwards, Lamar Thomas, Todd Sievers, longtime trainer Vinny Scavo, tournament host Aaron Moser and tournament chair Tracy Kerdyk.
The Diamond sponsor was Dodd Clasen of Twinkenham Inc. Gold sponsors for the event were Williamson Cadillac Buick GMC, Sandbar Sports Grill, Trugreen, University Credit Union, Florida Sol Systems and Aetna. ABC Bartending Schools provided the libations for the golfers.
The event featured a silent auction, a Hole-In-One contest sponsored by Williamson and post tournament awards reception on a terrace overlooking the golf course at the Biltmore Hotel.
Chair Tracy Kerdyk and a group of volunteers spent hours making the event a success and raising funds for student-athlete scholarships through the Hurricane Club.
