Rules for Shotgun Golf

  • Shotgun golf will begin at 12:30 PM. Foursomes will be broken up in 1A and 1B all the way through to 18. Those that are “Hole Sponsors” will begin at the hole with their logo on a flag.
  • There is a 2 putt max.
  • Beat the Seminarian: Longest drive will be on hole 4.
  • Beat the Seminarian: Closest to the pin will be on hole 17.
  • The hole-in-one will be at hole 5 and there will be detailed instructions on the course.
  • The staff at the golf course will calculate the lowest foursome, closest to the pin and longest drive and those winners will receive an award at the dinner.
    • In the event of a tie for the lowest score, the staff at Pine Meadow will total the back 9 of the scores and determine the winner. If the back 9 still results in a tie, the staff will total the front 9. In the event there is still a tie, they will look at the handicap and determine the winner.
  • Mulligans will be available for purchase and golfers can buy as many as they want and use the honor system when cashing in on their Mulligans.
  • When golfers arrive, they will check-in and they will be told their starting hole. USML Seminarians will take their bag and place it on a golf cart with their name, so when lunch is over the golfers will go to their cart and drive to their starting hole.

Sister Rosemary Connelly, RSM

2024 Honoree

We are proud to honor Sister Rosemary Connelly, RSM, Chairman of Misericordia with the 204 Cardinal Joseph Bernardin In Service of One Another Catholic Humanitarian Award.

Sister Rosemary is a member of the Sisters of Mercy.  A native Chicagoan, she attended parochial schools and taught in several Archdiocesan schools while continuing her studies.  In 1959, Sister Rosemary earned a B.S. in Social Science.  She then earned a Master of Arts in Sociology from St. Louis University in 1966 and a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 1969.  She was appointed Administrator of Misericordia in 1969.  She has also received nine honorary doctorate degrees – from the University of Notre Dame, St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame, Loyola, DePaul, Lewis, St. Xavier, Marquette, Dominican and MacMurray Universities, as well as numerous awards and honors.

Misericordia began providing services for persons in need in 1921. Operated by the Sisters of Mercy, it first served as a maternity hospital on the South Side of Chicago. In 1954, it turned its attention to another group in need of special care – children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

 Sister Rosemary was appointed Misericordia’s Executive Director in 1969. At that time, there were no services for children with disabilities – so she started a variety of programs designed to help the children achieve the highest level of independence possible. In 1976, Sister Rosemary, 39 children and 35 dedicated staff members moved to the former site of Angel Guardian Orphanage on the North Side of Chicago at 6300 North Ridge. It was an abandoned campus with dilapidated buildings.

A visionary who devoted more than 50 years to the community that has become the Misericordia of today, Sister Rosemary’s leadership over the years has led to a far-reaching program that includes 600 children and adult residents, an Outreach Program serving more than 200 families, 1,100 employees and thousands of volunteers both on and off campus. Nearly 400 people currently are on Misericordia’s waiting list. Sister was integral in establishing Misericordia as one of the nation’s leading communities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It has become a model for others in providing a wide range of residential options, educational programs, vocational training, therapy and medical services, social and recreational activities, health and fitness, and opportunities for spiritual growth.
