Support UMass Club Golf

Thank you so much for considering a donation to our team!

As we continue to grow, we have two major goals for this fundraising effort:

1. Compete at a Division I level—on and off the course. Now that we regularly compete against Division I programs, we are working to fundraise at the same level to ensure our team has the resources to succeed.

2. Surpass last year’s fundraising total and continue building momentum for the future of our program.

Your donation will go directly toward supporting our spring season, including:

Travel: Flights, rental cars, and gas

Equipment: Golf balls, gloves, bags, and other essentials

Lodging: Hotels during tournament travel

Tournaments: Entry fees, yardage books, food, and on-course necessities

This spring, we are excited to compete in tournaments across North Carolina, Tennessee, and New Mexico. However, our spring season is significantly more expensive than the fall, as it requires long-distance travel, flights, rental cars, and additional hotel nights.

The University is starting to take notice of us - so while the funds we raise are important, the number of people who choose to support us sends an even stronger message. Therefore we would be extremely grateful if you shared this with friends, family or others you know that love golf, UMass or both!

Your support helps us compete at our highest level, attract new talent, and ensure that UMass Club Golf continues to grow for years to come. With your support, we can turn years of hard work into a lasting golf program at UMass.

Thank you for your generosity and for being a vital part of our journey!

Donating or not, we are stronger with numbers! Please join our community here (Swinging Sam Collective)!
