May 23, 2025 | Coronado, CA
The 32nd Annual Classy Golf Classic was held on Friday, May 23rd at the historic Coronado Golf Course in San Diego!
The theme was “Golf of Ages,” and participants outfitted their teams in the attire of their favorite era. Golf “purists” pulled out the heavy wool pants and tweed jackets. Those who idolize Bobby Jones, slipped into some nifty plus fours and sharp ties. And 70’s lovers were the grooviest of all! It was an incredible day of golf, food and frivolity, all in support of Cancer for College.
Thank you to our Classy partners!
