Hello Supporters of UMass Club Golf!

We hope you had a great week! 

Firstly, we encourage you to check back to the previous email for the initial details of our new action items. 

Also, we wanted to remind you to join The Swinging Sam Collective. The Swinging Sam Collective is the community of supporters for UMass Golf. It would mean a lot to see all of you, our most passionate supporters, in the network so we can invite you to exciting events and keep you updated with our new newsletter!

Thank you so much!

Dear UMass Club Golf Donors,

Happy New Year!

I want to start in the only correct place, thanking you all. 

When we first laid eyes on our ferociously slashed budget we were prepared to tell the team our season would be just 2 months long and our 7 seniors could consider their careers done. We had but one option - to seek out the support of our community. The support that we received from you, the UMass Golf Community, was unlike we or the university had ever seen before. 

 When I (Markus Pierre - Secretary and President Elect) sat down with University faculty to organize this online fundraiser I was told our goal was crazy - teams struggle to raise $5,000 in a school year, nevermind $20,000…in 3 weeks. We would not be where we are today, nor would our future look as bright without every single one of you who supported us. From the bottom of our hearts, the UMass Club Golf team thanks you. 

 You proved to us how unbelievably strong of a community and support system we have and, as a team with magnificent goals (including working towards a D1 program), we would be mistaken to not harness this support network. With that in mind we wanted to gather our community in a more formal setting and ask you to join the first ever UMass Club Golf Network - The Swinging Sam Collective! By signing up you will be provided with:

1. The UMass Club Golf Newsletter
2. Opportunity to participate in our supporter golf tournament
3. Opportunity to purchase specialty merchandise 
4. Opportunity to support/network with club golfers

 Please follow this link to Join The Swinging Sam Collective! 

We are excited to take this next step in formalizing our relationship with all of our generous donors, alumni, and community members, and we can’t wait to share our journey with all of you!

 Thank you!
