September 26, 2018
A day of fun and friendly camaraderie – and all for a great cause.
A chance to enjoy the rolling hills and gorgeous landscapes of central Maryland at a time when the scenery at its finest.
If you’ve experienced it before, you’ll know that Capitol Technology University’s annual scholarship golf tournament is an event not to be missed. But time is running out: register now! According to Melinda Bunnell-Rhyne, Vice President for Student Engagement and University Development, new registrations will be accepted until Friday (September 28).
Now in its 11th year, the tournament brings together alumni, benefactors, and other members of the wider Capitol community for an outing at a premier Maryland golf resort. Proceeds fund scholarships for Capitol students.
“The intention is to draw together alumni and friends of the college for a fun day of golf while also raising funds for scholarship support,” Bunnell-Rhyne said. “The fund has supported two to four students each year since the tournament started, and allows students who have merit to receive additional support as sophomores, juniors or seniors.”
“Scholarships are vital to students,” she said. “They help students to control the cost and lower their debt leaving college. That enables them to be on a stronger financial footing when they go out and start their careers and raise families.”
Several firms and individuals are sponsoring this year’s tournament. Manekin Construction and Heffner & Weber are tournament sponsors, while Mt. Royal Printing and Communications has dedicated an honorary scholarship to Douglas Cayce.
Hole sponsors include Grimm+Parker Associates and SB & Company. John G. Puente, a Capitol trustee emeritus who endowed the university’s John G. and Beverly A. Puente Library, is also sponsoring a hole at the tournament.
Randall Magiera has dedicated a memorial sponsorship to Rosie Magiera.
Registration costs cover not only the greens fees and equipment, but also a continental breakfast, lunch, and beverages on course. Each participant will receive a golf shirt marking the occasion, along with a sleeve of golf balls bearing the name of the university. An awards ceremony will be held after play is concluded.

This year’s tournament location, The Woodlands, has been hailed by Washington Golf Monthly as “the best public course in the Baltimore suburbs.” Lindsay Ervin, a leading golf course architect, designed the course, which opened in 1998. According to Ervin, The Woodlands “truly ranks as my best design.”
