The 2024 Poultry Science Association Golf Scramble was held on Sunday, July 14 at the Shawnee Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky.  There was fierce heat & humidity greeting all those that dared to brave the course.  Our winning team with a low score of 3 under par (Carl told me this) was Dr. Mercedes Vasquez-Anon, Dr. Johnathan Broomhead, Dr. Max Pfund, and Dr. Carl Parsons.  Congratulations to all participants.
PSA would also like to thank our Corporate Sponsor for the event, DSM Firmenich, for their generous support.
