Another Great Golf Outing

Several of the Northern Law Blog contributing writers attended the 9th Annual NIU-COL Alumni Golf Outing on Friday, June 7, 2013.  I didn't take too many photos (I was busy almost winning the "Shortest Drive Award"), but here are some that I did get.  If anyone else has any photos, feel free to post them to the Blog.

It was good to see Law Blog regulars Brian Moore and Dexter Evans, as well as many loyal readers and subscribers out at the course.  I'm already looking forward to next year!

Mike Huseman and Dexter Evans:

Great times, No winners.

The 8th Annual NIU Law Golf Outing was a great success.  It was a beautiful day out on the course and it seemed that fun times were had by all.

But, once again, there were a lot of disappointed coffee-drinking blog readers out there on the links.  The Law Blog sponsored Hole 18 (photo evidence below), which NO ONE PICKED IN OUR CONTEST!!

So, for the third consecutive year, the prizes will roll over.  Next year we need 18 guesses no matter what.  All of the readers should invite their friends and former classmates to subscribe to this blog.  I really want to give away some prizes next year.  So long.

NIU Alumni Golf Outing

The 8th Annual NIU Law Golf Outing & Awards Dinner will be held on Friday, June 8th at the River Heights Golf Course in DeKalb.  Once again, the Northern Law Blog will be sponsoring a hole at the golf outing.  That means that it is time again for the annual contest to guess which hole we will be sponsoring.

Every year the Law Blog offers a prize to the first person to guess the hole at which the Northern Law Blog sign will appear.  In past years the prizes have been limited to a drink of the winner's choosing at the 19th hole (it's an open bar).  Last year, however, the Law Blog was able to secure this matching set of Dreyer Foote coffee mugs as prizes:

But no one won them.  In fact, NO ONE HAS EVER WON THIS CONTEST!!!  Two years ago we only had a handful of guesses.  Last year we only had nine guesses and no one guessed Hole 10.  I know there were a lot of disappointed coffee-drinking blog readers at last year's golf outing.  So, you will be happy to hear that the coffee mugs have rolled over into this year's prize pool.  

But the Law Blog has been having a tremendous year.  This year we are really going all out.  This year we are actually going to give the winner something to put in the coffee mugs:

That's right.  A Starbucks gift card of unknown value.  (The Law Blog Accounting Department is still running some numbers.)  

Here are the rules.  Simply comment to this post with a number between 1 and 18.  The winner will be determined on June 8th once we locate our sponsor sign on the golf course.  If there are multiple correct guesses, the first one to post wins.  The winner need not be present at the golf outing, although I will have the prizes at the golf course if the winner is present.  If the winner is not present, we will make arrangements the following week for the awards presentation.  Good Luck.

And the winner is....

Nobody!!!  There were no guesses for Hole 10.  I guess the coffee mugs will roll over until next year.  And I also heard some good suggestions for better prizes next year.  So next year's contest should be interesting. 

It's great to see the loyal Law Blog readers suggesting great prizes that I should buy with my own money so that they can win them for free.  Ha!!  Great times at the golf outing once again though.  See everybody next year.

That's right.  A matching set of Dreyer Foote coffee mugs.  Here are the rules.  Simply comment to this post with a number between 1 and 18.  The winner will be determined on June 10th once we locate our sponsor sign on the golf course.  If there are multiple correct guesses, the first one to post wins.  The winner need not be present at the golf outing, although I will have the mugs at the golf course if the winner is present.  If the winner is not present, we will make arrangements the following week for the awards presentation.  Good Luck.

14th Hole Alumni Golf Outing

NIU Golf Outing

The NIU College of Law Golf Outing & Alumni Awards Dinner will be held on June 12, 2009 at River Heights Golf Course in DeKalb. The Northern Law Blog is once again sponsoring a hole at the golf outing.

The Northern Law Blog Finance Committee has also once again authorized me to offer a free drink to one lucky Law Blog reader. After reviewing the Law Blog budget, it was determined that the free drink would go to the first Law Blog reader to ace the eighteenth hole.

To get in the spirit, I am asking for commenters to give their favorite Caddyshack quotes. I hope to see some of you on June 12th.

Northern Law Blog Sponsors Hole At Alumni Golf Outing

The Law Blog dipped into its meager reserves today to sponsor a hole at the NIU golf outing on June 27. We haven't been notified yet which hole we purchased.

The Law Blog Executive Committee offers a FREE DRINK at the 19th hole to the first reader to correctly guess which hole we end up sponsoring. Please post your guesses in the comment section. Only one guess per reader. See you on the 27th.
