Nearly 150 individual supporters attended the event, which included 18 holes of golf, lunch, drinks, dinner, and a special viewing party of the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship game. More than 40 individuals and businesses also participated as sponsors of the tournament. 

"On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff, we are beyond grateful to everyone who attended and made this year's event a success," stated Athletic Director Kim Ensing. "Your support is vital in building our success and providing a quality student-athlete experience."

All participants also had the opportunity to enter a raffle drawing throughout the day for a chance to win a number of prizes with the grand prize being a pair of VIP Experience tickets to the 2023 NCAA Basketball National Championship. Other prize packages included weekend getaways to local oceanview hotels, wine packages with tasting room certificates, and a stay in Solvang for PCPA Summerfest action with dinner at the highly-rated Mad & Vin restaurant. 

"We were absolutely thrilled with the number of alumni and friends that were able to participate in the tournament," Ensing added. "It is always a pleasure to visit with former AHC athletes and hear stories about their time at Hancock. It was also great to host the first major in-person event in honor of our department."

The 2nd Annual AHC Athletics Final Fore Golf Tournament date has been set for April 3rd, 2023. Registration information will be sent out at a later date.
