Divine Word College Seminary in Epworth, Iowa is hosting its Fourth Annual Benefit Golf Outing Friday, July 27 at Timberline Golf Course south of Peosta, Iowa. This year’s event is in memory of Bud McGovern, a long-time friend of the college and supporter of the golf outing, who passed away in January.

The outing begins with a shotgun start at 1 pm for the four-person, 18-hole best-shot format. Social and dinner will begin around 5:30 pm. A silent auction and raffle will also be part of the evening program. Cost per golfer is $80 and includes, golf, cart, prizes and steak dinner. For anyone wishing to enjoy just the steak dinner, the cost is $25.
