DAYTON, Ohio – The University of Dayton football program held its 12th Annual Tony Ernst Memorial Golf Outing at Yankee Trace last weekend.
Over 120 golfers, including former players from as far as Philadelphia, participated in the outing this year. The event helps raise money for an intern coaching position within the University of Dayton football program.
Tony Ernst, a former quarterback who wore No. 6 and was a 1995 UD graduate, passed away unexpectedly just a few years after graduation. As a tribute to his spirit and character, the Ernst Family established the Tony Ernst Graduate Assistantship Football Coaching Position in 1999. The position is being funded by the annual memorial golf tournament.
In addition to the outing, a silent auction of athletics memorabilia was held after dinner on the course.
