Golf for the sake of good science! Its all about physics!
The 2008 Impression 5 Science Center Golf Marathon will be held at Timber Ridge Golf Club on Monday, August 18th.
What is a golf marathon? Well,
in an effort to create a truly unique golf fund raiser,
Impression 5 and a group of volunteers have created an event that
allows participants to play golf all day long, on a closed course,
while at the same time, raising much needed funds for Impression 5!
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to support the mission of Impression 5 Science Center!
If you are interested in participating, or would like to contribute to the event, please contact Erik Larson by
