Spring Update from Tau Chapter

Congratulations Seniors

A huge thank you to everyone who made it out to the Lodge for the Senior Graduation Tailgate. It was the perfect send-off for the Class of 2026, and we couldn't have asked for a better group to share it with.

From the Cabo Bob’s taco bar to the Weenie Wagon favorites, we had a blast celebrating with all 90 of you. We hope you enjoyed looking back at the memories in the slideshow—it was a great reminder of how far these guys have come during their time on the Forty Acres.

Tau Open Golf Tournament Recap

The 41st Annual Tau Open Golf Tournament was held on April 10 & 11th in Austin. Teams played at Morris Williams and Austin Municipal golf courses and enjoyed a Friday night dinner from Rudy's BBQ at John Newberry's home.

It was a tight race with 5 of the 6 teams within 5 strokes of each other. Charlie Stoddard's team won the event with a 2 Day Net Score of 115 and a handicap of 5. Stoddard's team included Bryan Walters, Scott Shaeffer and Robbie Guinn. Jim Pritchett's team came in a close second with 116 and a handicap of 6. Congratulations Team Stoddard!

Thank you to Buckley Parks and John Newberry for organizing the tournament!
