Annual BoileRx Golf Classic - May 18, 2006

Rather than the Seven Plagues of Egypt, on Thursday, May 18, 2006 participants in the 10th Annual BoileRx Golf Outing endured the Five Plagues of Indiana: rain, hail, high winds, thunder and lightning! In spite of the weather, a record total of 168 golfers participated in the event which raised over $20,000 in funds for Pharmacy Scholarships. All contestants, sponsors and volunteers came away a bit damp on the outside, but satisfied inside that the day was still lots of fun and a huge success.

Many thanks go to the Purdue Pharmacy Alumni Association volunteers as well as to volunteers from the Chao Center and the School of Pharmacy faculty and staff for herding golfers to and from the course throughout the afternoon as the pop-up storms came through. The 2006 BoileRx was again sponsored by The Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy and Contract Manufacturing.

The day began with boxed lunches provided by Kroger Company and then a mad dash to the carts to get in at least one hole of golf before the first wave of bad weather. Then it was back to the Voinoff Pavilion to watch and wait. Shortly, the all clear was given, and golfers filed back to the carts to pick up where they had left off. This scene was repeated several times throughout the afternoon, resulting in quite a bit of jockeying and jocularity. Mention was made that on at least one green, the hail was so deep you couldn't putt. That's a new excuse!

At 5:30, even the heartiest golfers were admitting that maybe nine holes was sufficient for the day, as they lined up for a delicious dinner of "chicken on the barbie" and all the trimmings sponsored by Tyco/Mallinckrodt. At 6:00, the 2nd annual BoileRx post-golf auction began. This year's auction was "live" and our auctioneer, Mr. Al Goetz, was the highlight of the evening. How does he talk so fast? Through his efforts and the generosity of the donors who provided the auction items, nearly $3,000 more dollars were raised for scholarships.

Looking forward to seeing you all again next year at the 11th Annual BoileRx Golf Outing, May 17, 2007!
