Third Annual Recreation and Wellness Golf Outing

In two weeks, students, faculty, staff, and community members have the opportunity to enjoy 18 holes of golf while giving back to BGSU. On Friday, September 25, the Department of Recreation and Wellness hosts the Third Annual Recreation and Wellness Golf Outing at Forrest Creason Golf Course.

Nate Boneta, Graduate Assistant for Recreation and Wellness in Marketing and Advertising, is working on preparations for the outing.

“The outing’s purpose is to raise money for the Recreation and Wellness Foundation,” Boneta said, “and to bring together students, faculty, and community members with Recreation and Wellness staff.”

The Recreation and Wellness Foundation assists the department in alleviating budgetary restraints.

“The foundation provides money outside of the budget for necessary equipment, student employee events, and professional development,” stated Boneta.

Helping Recreation and Wellness raise money for its Foundation is not the only motive for participating. There are also prizes awarded for first place in the men’s, women’s, and mixed categories.

“It‘s a fun way to get everyone involved,” added Boneta. “We’re going to have contests at different holes, like longest putt or longest drive.”

The golf outing also provides an environment conducive to socializing. Boneta sees the event as an opportunity to get face-time with people from the Bowling Green area.

“Students don’t get to see faculty outside of a classroom,” said Boneta. “It’s a good way for members of the Bowling Green community to get together.”

Boneta indicated he is expecting a large turnout of community members, students, and faculty.

“We want to make sure everyone gets involved,” added Boneta. “It’s not just for Recreation and Wellness employees. It’s for everyone in Bowling Green.”

Entry forms are due Monday, September 21 and can be found by following the “Annual Golf Outing” link at http://www.bgsu.edu/rewell. The event is a two person scramble. The price for students and Forrest Creason members is $30 and $40 for the general public, which includes 18 holes, a cart, and lunch. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m., lunch is from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and the shotgun start is at 12:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Kurt Thomas at (419) 372-2674.

Climbing Wall Popular During Welcome Week

As part of Welcome Week at BGSU, Recreation and Wellness’ Outdoors Program hosted free climbs on the climbing wall at the Student Recreation Center (SRC) from August 24 through September 3. The turnout during the free climb period was exceptional.

“Usually the first two weeks are good, because it’s free,” said student manager Adie Heyne, “but we’re trying to increase membership.”

Student interest was high, and many students came back multiple times. Freshmen Vince D’Ettorre and Greg Stanley each made their fifth visit as of Monday, August 31. Additionally, Ashley Medwig and Bri Behringer, also freshmen, made their second visits.

“Every time you go, the better you get,” stated Stanley, “and the more challenges open up.”

The thrill of climbing 35 feet up the wall was also a factor that drew students back for multiple visits.

“My least favorite part is the height,” admitted Medwig, “but it’s also my favorite part since we can’t die.”

“I like the adrenaline rush,” added Behringer.

While none of the students interviewed had any prior climbing experiences, all indicated plans of purchasing a membership.

After the initial two week period of free climbs, memberships and day passes can be purchased for the climbing wall. For students and SRC members, a day pass costs $3, a semester pass is $25 and a year membership is $45. Shoes can also be rented by purchasing a $10 card good for 10 shoe rentals. Memberships are also available for non-members. Adult memberships are $45 for the semester and $75 annually, and child memberships cost $35 for the semester and $60 annually.

“It’s a friendly environment, it’s fun, we bring our own music,” explained Heyne, “and it’s a pretty good work out.”
