DURHAM – The Duke men's and women's golf programs concluded their fall seasons recently, with both squads combining to raise $4,801.90 for the Duke Children's Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units, via the Birdies for Babies program.
Blue Devil fans are encouraged to sign up now to help support Duke Children's.
In year five of the Birdies for Babies program, which raises money to go towards the Duke Children's Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units, the Blue Devils have brought in a total of $73,139.90.
The men's golf program was paced this fall by sophomore Ian Siebers with a 70.00 stroke average to go along with four top-10 finishes, while freshman Luke Sample registered a 71.67 stroke average and three top-20 placements. As a team, the Blue Devils carded a season-best third-place ledger at the Rod Myers Invitational and shot in impressive 18-under-par at the Old Town Club Collegiate.
The women's team was led this fall by junior Erica Shepherd with a 71.70 stroke average, while finishing in the top-4 of three out of the four tournaments she competed in. A native of Greenwood, Ind., Shepherd went a perfect, 2-0, in match play at the East Lake Cup and concluded the fall as one of 15 golfers tabbed to the final Fall ANNIKA Award Watch List. As a team, Duke had a season-best second place finish at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate, while also advancing to the championship of the East Lake Cup.
Those looking to support Duke's partnership with Duke Children's can make pledges per birdie. Pledges will start at $0.50 and high pledge increments are welcome. If the Blue Devils register an eagle (counts as two birdies), albatross (three birdies) and hole-in-one (four birdies) will count as stated.
Duke Children's is a 180-bed inpatient hospital within Duke University Hospital. The central outpatient clinic – the McGovern-Davison Children's Health Center, is a 66,000 square-foot facility that is adjacent to the hospital, which combines medical and surgical specialty services in one colorful, child-focused location. Additionally, there are numerous Duke Children's primary care and specialty care clinics through North Carolina to care for the needs of children throughout the state.
Duke Children's is one of the largest health care providers for children in the Southeast, and the only children's hospital in North Carolina to be ranked in all 10 specialties by the U.S. News & World Report.
