Harley Knosher Golf Outing 2009

On June 19, Harley Knosher added ten more teams to the long list of championship squads he coached in 40 years at Knox: they are the alumni and friends of the College who played in the 2009 Harley Knosher Golf Outing, held at Soangetaha Country Club in Galesburg. The annual "scramble" tournament is named in honor of Knox's long-time athletic director and coach of football, basketball, baseball and golf who retired in 2000.
