2025 Massachusetts Collective Golf Invitational (9/15/25)

[umasscollective]

We wanted to get the date and some exciting details out early for this year's Massachusetts Collective Golf Invitational – our biggest event of the year from an attendance, engagement, and fundraising standpoint!

Save the Date: Monday, September 15, 2025

If you were part of it last year, you know what an awesome day it was—players, coaches, and support staff joined us, Miss Massachusetts made an appearance, the Minutemen militia fired off the muskets to kick things off, and there was energy everywhere you looked.

This year, we're aiming for even bigger and better—a better experience for every attendee and supporter, a higher fundraising goal, and a day you won't want to miss.

We are also proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds this year will benefit the Mike Babul Memorial Fund, which will provide educational scholarships, youth basketball program tuition assistance, coaching education, and raise awareness for heart health.

We expect this tournament to sell out again, so if you're thinking about playing, sponsoring, or even just attending the post-round social and dinner (yes, even non-golfers are encouraged to join for that part!), keep an eye out for signups and sponsorship information coming soon.

If you own a business—or just want to help in any way—we would really appreciate you considering sponsoring the event. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.

More details coming soon, but for now—SAVE THE DATE: September 15, 2025!

Excited to announce we’ll be streaming LIVE on YouTube from Crumpin Fox Club on 9/15 for the Massachusetts Collective Golf Invitational

Maroon on the Range | 10–11 AM
Hosted by Jacob Repper & John Ruggiero
Guests include Coach Frank Martin, Ryan Bamford, Miss Massachusetts, UMass players & more

If you can’t make the tourney, tune in from home and be part of the action before the first ball is struck. This is going to be sick as hell—don’t miss it.

^ That's pretty cool. Thanks Pat for helping to set that up.

To be clear, the live stream is only from 10-11 AM, yes? I may clear my work schedule during that time

[umasscollective]

Yes, 10-11. May go longer and feature Frank and the players formal speeches to the group, but depends on day of logistics. If so it would be another 30 minutes or so, 11-1130.

I'm sure you're busy as all get out this morning, but can you post the link for the live stream? Great weather for the event!

The info was there all along: on WMUA Sports' YouTube page.

If you missed it, that YouTube link still works as a recording. Check it out. Frank, DHS, Donovan Brown, and Jayden spoke at points.

There are pauses in between segments, with a still image shown in between.

Thanks to Pat for putting that together. It's no easy feat to pull that off from a location that typically doesn't do such a thing. And kudos to the WMUA guys for hosting.

Plenty of social posts on their Twitter feed: https://x.com/TheMassCo

If you're here posting, and you're not yet a Collective member, you really should be, even at a modest level. It's borderline required if you're gonna support a team in this NIL era we're in. (Let's not debate the era again here, that's ground well covered at this point.)
