Supporting UNCW Scholarships and Golf Programs Since 2002

LANDFALL TRADITION TO CELEBRATE 15TH ANNIVERSARY

By Bill Paris, Landfall Tradition Marketing Chair

While it’s hard to believe, this year’s Landfall Tradition Women’s College Golf Championship will be the fifteenth since local entrepreneur Pete Hexter, then UNCW women’s coach Jan Mann, and Grant Robbins, then UNCW men’s golf, met and conceived what has become one of the finest tournaments in college golf.  Over those fifteen years, 53 women’s teams from 32 states and 14 different conferences have come to Wilmington and enjoyed the outstanding hospitality provided by UNCW and the Country Club of Landfall.  

Every October, over 300 volunteers step up to welcome players, coaches, and their fans, often to a part of the country they have never seen. The fund-raising College/AM, held the day before competitive play begins, has contributed over $300,000 to the UNCW golf scholarship program, and the event has had a positive economic impact on the local economy of some $3.75 million. 

Again this year, UNCW women’s coach Cindy Ho, has assembled an outstanding field including local favorites North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, Virginia, and South Carolina plus national names like Alabama, Brown, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Penn State, Purdue, Clemson, Iowa, Furman, Texas Tech, and Central Florida.

All spectators are welcomed. Parking and admission are free.

Volunteer

No tournament of this size and quality can be successful without a strong volunteer base. This has been a key factor in the tournament’s success in the past.

Once again, we are looking for volunteers for the Fall tournament. We hope to welcome back volunteers from previous years but would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who may have an interest. Areas of need are diverse and schedules are flexible.

This is a fun yet important way to be a part of the tournament.
