The Bluffton University men's golf team traveled to Trine University for the Ken Venturi Invitational on a hot Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021. This annual event, which Bluffton's golfers have already marked on their calendar for 2022, consists of players in pairs who are competing in three different partner events. Holes 1-6 were contested as a scramble, 7-12 were best ball, and 13-18 was modified alternate shots with both players driving and then alternating after the best tee shot was used. The format was adopted by long-time Trine men's golf coach Bill SanGiacomo.
