In its 10th year, the SUNY New Paltz Scholarship Golf Tournament is being renamed this year as the Doug Sheppard Classic in memory of the longtime professor, administrator, and coach who passed away this year. Shep, as he was known to many, was not only the golf coach at the college for 32 years, but a golfer who was a fixture at local golf courses and tournaments in the area. A strong advocate for the game, Doug served on many tournament committees and literally taught hundreds how to play the game. It is only befitting that his name be carried on through this tournament that will benefit future students.
