Classic Camaraderie on the Course and Courts

It was a beautiful spring day for the 50th McDonogh Classic on Tuesday, May 12 at Green Spring Valley Hunt Club. Pickleball enthusiasts enjoyed a morning of social play, including an opportunity to learn the game of padel. After an all-player lunch, golfers teed off for 18 holes of scramble-style play. The festivities concluded with the 19th Hole happy hour and celebratory awards ceremony — capping off a memorable day of camaraderie and philanthropy. Proceeds from the event benefited the McDonogh Alumni Association and its impactful initiatives within the school community.
