Alumni Funding Dreams
Posted by David Dudley Field '25 under Alumni at 7:36 am
Dylan Dethier’s ’14 amazing article about his attempt to make the PGA included this paragraph:
Before I enrolled in college I spent a year exploring the United States, hoping to learn more about the country through the game. I lived out of my car, played a course in every state and wrote a book about the experience called 18 in America. It did well enough that when I turned pro I had $30k in the bank. Cody, my co-captain at Williams, held a tournament (with dinner and a raffle!) in his hometown to pay for the trip south. We also reached out to former members of the golf team, and a small group of alumni was kind enough to stake us with entry fees for our first six months. As lucky as Cody and I were, we were shorter on resources than most of our peers.
Tell us more! We love hearing stories about alumni supporting recent graduates as they chase their dreams.
And read Dylan’s entire article. It is poignant and beautifully written.
