Misericordia’s Annual Golf Tournament

Misericordia University will hold its 31^st Annual Golf Tournament in Memory of Arnie Garinger on Monday, September 12^th at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club (Mountain Top, PA).

Garinger spent 30 years at Misericordia in a variety of capacities. He truly embodied the charisms of Misericordia and was a friend of the athletics program. He started the varsity golf program and served as its first coach with his co-coach Jack Hoover. The duo led the Cougars to eight consecutive top-two finishes at the PAC Championships, including two titles. In 1998, he was named PAC Coach of the Year. Garinger also founded the Cougar Club Golf Tournament, which is why the tournament bears his name and serves as the primary fundraiser for MU Athletics for 31 years.

His daughter, Amy (Garinger) Brozena ‘84 said, “Arnie loved and adored Misericordia, golf, students, and athletics. We are honored that Misericordia carries on his legacy with this tournament to benefit student-athletes.”
