On Friday, August 2nd (rain date Friday, August 9th) Please join us for the second annual Tim Murphy Memorial Golf Outing & Shindig. This year we'll have a morning and afternoon flight for the golf outing. The morning flight starts with a continental breakfast followed by a shotgun start at 7:30. Our afternoon flight includes a grab-n-go lunch, shotgun start at 1pm, followed by the shindig at the Rotary Hill Pavilion at Lake of the Woods with food, spirits and music.

All proceeds will benefit The High School of St. Thomas More's Athletic Boosters Organization and in turn, all of our student-athletes. Proceeds will be used to support the repairs to our soccer field.

On January 16, 2022, the community was devastated by the loss of Tim Murphy, who served as the STM Golf Coach from 2007-2011, during his time as coach, 07-08: SVC Champs, Won IHSA Regional, Won IHSA Sectional Team, Advanced to IHSA State, Team (3rd) , SVC Champs (295), 08-09: SVC Champs, Won IHSA Regional, Won IHSA Sectional, Won IHSA State Final (609) Team Tie for Third at IHSA State Final, Eight Place at IHSA State Final, 09-10:  Won SVC Tournament, Won SVC Conference, Won Regional 3rd at Sectional, 10-11: Won SVC Tournament, Won SVC Conference, 2nd at Regional, 2nd at Sectional, Seventh Place at IHSA State Final Team. As a long-time member of the STM community, Tim was instrumental in the high school's golf program.

Tim was many things to many people in Champaign, a skilled golfer, a dedicated coach (for his kids' teams and other teams in the community), friend, mentor, leader in the community, volunteer, husband, and treasured his role as Dad and Papa above all. For over the last decade of his life, Tim continued to demonstrate his courage, strength, and trust in God as he battled early-onset Alzheimer's. He was the epitome of a community steward, and it is in that same spirit that this tournament has been renamed in his memory.

On August 2, 2024, The High School of St. Thomas More is proud to host the 2nd annual Tim Murphy Memorial Golf Outing and Shindig. We expect a full field for both our flights, so register early! Great sponsorships are also available.

If you are interested in being a hole or event sponsor, it's not too late!
