Chapter Chatter
Coral Canyon Golf Course in St. George hosted the Southern Utah Crimson Club Golf Tournament on May 23rd, as part of the 2008 Summer Ute Tour, which featured four of the U’s outstanding athletics coaches: Kyle Whittingham (football), Jim Boylen (men’s basketball), Elaine Elliott (women’s basketball), and Beth Launiere (women’s volleyball). The purpose of the annual tour is to bring U of U athletics to area supporters; the goal of the tournament, other than providing U of U alumni and friends a magnificent setting to hone their golf swings, is to raise scholarship funds for U students from the area.
