Returning again in 2010 is the "Hole" Captain Sponsor.  This sponsorship is $5,000, and you get a foursome and naming rights to one of the holes on the course.  As Captain, you can sponsor the hole individually, as a business, or put together a foursome that contributes to the $5,000 sponsorship.  You may want to use the hole signage to promote your business or to honor an administrator, faculty member, coach, or staff person, past or present, from Wheaton College!
