The Howe-Welle Women's Athletics Golf Tournament returns to the Bemidji Town and Country Club on Aug. 23, 2024!

All proceeds from the golf tournament and silent auction will directly benefit BSU’s nine women’s athletic programs. Everyone is invited to participate in this family-friendly event.

The tournament will be a four-person scramble with an 10:30 a.m. shotgun start. Registration includes 18 holes of golf, a tee gift, a meal and two carts per team.

Following golf, a social, silent auction and raffle will be held at the Bemidji Town & Country Club's clubhouse. All are welcome. The meal will begin at approximately 3 p.m.

New this year is the Ruth Howe Spirit Award: Come as best-dressed team or decorated golf cart for your chance to win a team prize. The selection process will be determined by golf committee members and tournament staff.

A reboot of the long-running Lady Beaver Golf Tournament that supported women’s athletics at Bemidji State from 1983-2010, the Howe-Welle Tournament is named in honor of two of the tournament founders: Ruth Howe, who coached women’s basketball (1964-77), softball (1969) and women’s tennis (1976-86) at BSU and is an official founder of Bemidji State women’s athletics; and Jeanette Welle, a longtime Beaver Athletics supporter.
