23rd Annual ODU Alumni Association Golf Tournament

The ODU Alumni Association hosted its 23rd annual golf tournament on April 25 at Cedar Point Golf Course in Suffolk, Va. Despite the chilly temperatures, 25 teams came together to reunite with old friends and swing their clubs for a cause, supporting ODU Scholarships. Participants also had the chance to showcase their prowess in the "longest drive" and "closest to the tee competitions." Photos Chuck Thomas/ODU
