HUTCHINSON, Kan. — HutchCC Athletic Director Josh Gooch is pleased with how the annual Blue Dragon golf tournament fundraiser is coming together.
"Tyler at Carey Park, him and his staff do an absolutely wonderful job of being welcoming, putting all the fine details on to put on a first-class event," Gooch said.
The tournament will be Friday, May 6, with a 10 a.m. shotgun start. Gooch is glad to be closer to normal than it was during COVID.
"It's just another thing that we get to do," Gooch said. "We get to touch the community. Our spirit squad will be out there at the tournament, with Duke the Dragon with a chance to get your picture taken. It gives us an opportunity to just put on a first-class event."
It's important for the recruiting efforts of HutchCC that they are able to recruit well beyond just central Kansas.
"All the money that we collect goes into our HutchCC athletic endowment," Gooch said. "It pays for scholarships. It pays for opportunities for student athletes to come and pay for their tuition and books, fees, housing, room and board and events like this is what has elevated Hutchinson Community College athletically and provides us opportunities to recruit top-notch student athletes from across the country."
