COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the calendar transitions to summer, there's another Tennessee Tech tradition that continues to stand as the 2020 Pepsi Bobby Nichols Golden Eagle Scramble presented by Michelob Ultra will proceed as scheduled on June 12 through 14 at Golden Eagle Golf Club and White Plains Golf Club.
In consideration of the present COVID-19 situation, however, there are modifications to this year's event.
The annual Doc Fields Concert, held on the Friday night of the event, has been canceled in accordance with restrictions on hosting events and distancing. In exchange for the concert, the tournament committee has granted participating teams a mulligan for each day with a fully-paid entry fee. Players who have already paid for mulligans will receive a refund for the amount.
All other scheduled events are on, including the Saturday night BBQ dinner.
Further changes to the schedule are not anticipated but are subject to change depending on any unpredicted circumstances that may arise concerning COVID-19. In the event of the event's last-minute cancellation, the paid entry fee will be fully refunded. If a golfer may need to drop out of the event at the last minute due to COVID-19 related issues, those situations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
There are limited spots remaining, so interested golfers are strongly encouraged to register online at TTUsports.com or call (931) 372-3941 to reserve their spot as soon as possible.
