Football Alumni Golf Classic
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Former Tennessee Tech football players are
invited to gather on Saturday, July 10, for the team's annual
Alumni Golf Classic at the Cookeville Golf Club.
Prior to the golf outing, the public is invited to join the
festivities with a Friday night BBQ dinner. Tickets for the Friday
night dinner are $20 each and can be purchased in advance (online
at TTUsports.com) or at the Cookeville Golf Club the day of the
event. All proceeds from the dinner will directly benefit the
Golden Eagle football program.
Former Golden Eagle Tom Pemberton is heading up this year's golf
event, and is encouraging all former players to return for the
day's activities.
"It is such an honor for me to be allowed to step up and carry on
the tradition set by Larry Schreiber's many years of hard work for
this golf tournament," Pemberton said. "No one can fill Larry's
shoes, but we can continue the excellent work he has begun and we
need the help of our former players to do that.
"This event just keeps growing and growing," Pemberton said.
"Our goals are to raise money for the Robert Hill Johnson
Scholarship Endowment and for the TTU football progam."
For alumni who can get to town early, former player Ottis Phillips
is hosting a separate event to benefit the football program.
Miller Lite and Stone Steel will host a Friday evening dinner from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cookeville Golf Club. The dinner will
feature some of the South’s best barbecue for what has become
a legendary feast.
Pre-registration for the golf tournament is available until noon
on Thursday, July 8. Pre-registration is available either in-person
at the football office, by phone (931-372-3930), or online at
TTUsports.com.
If space is available, registration will also be available at the
golf event beginning at 10 a.m.
The four-man scramble format tournament will get underway at noon
with a shotgun start.
The cost of the playing in the event is $100 per person, both
during pre-registration and the day of the tournament but the field
is limited to the first 120 golfers to sign up. All proceeds from
the tournament go to the Tennessee Tech football program and the
Robert Hill Johnson endowment.
For information or registration, call the football office at (931)
372-3930.
