Students: Earn free entry into the Life West Golf Classic in honor of Dr. Bruce Chester. Details inside.
The Tournament
Hosted the Thursday before The WAVE Conference, the Life West Golf Classic is a fun day on the course in honor of Dr. Bruce Chester, with proceeds benefiting the Dr. Bruce Chester Memorial Fund.
- When: Thursday, August 6th, 2026 (exact tee time TBA)
- Where: Redwood Canyon Golf Club, 17007 Redwood Rd., Castro Valley, CA
- Who: Alumni, students, staff, faculty, area DCs, supporters of the school, and anyone who'd enjoy a great round for a great cause.
Students: Here's how to Golf for Free
Refer 4 paying golfers to the tournament and earn your own spot to play, free of charge.
It doesn't have to be one group — mix and match however works for you:
- One full foursome ($600 team registration)
- Two pairs ($310 each)
- Four individual golfers ($155 each)
- Any other combination that adds up to 4 paying players
You don't have to track or submit anything yourself. When each golfer registers at lifewest.edu/events/golf, the form simply asks if a Life West student referred them. Make sure your referral(s) enter your name and Life West email address. Once 4 paying registrations list you as their referrer, you're in.
Not interested in recruiting players? Register for just $99
If referrals aren't your thing, you can still register to play for a steeply discounted $99. Students who'd prefer to pay to golf can register here.
