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. Early indications
point to the best response yet for this event, so interested alumni
should act quickly to reserve space in the tournament.
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 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.
"We are really excited about the response and comments we have
been getting for this golf tournament," Pemberton said. "It should
be an outstanding event as this tournament continues to grow. 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.
As an added feature, participants will have the opportunity to
tour the new Athletic Performance Center on the Tech campus Friday
afternoon.
Pre-registration for the golf tournament is available until noon
on Thursday, July 7. Pre-registration is available either in-person
at the football office, by phone (931-372-3930).
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.

office at (931) 372-3930.
