The 50th annual Judson College Ministers’ Golf Tournament will be held in Marion on May 14–15. The tournament is open to all ministers serving Alabama Baptist State Convention churches or entities.
Several years ago a feature writer from The Montgomery Advertiser came to the tournament to observe and interview players for a story he was writing. While interviewing the chairman of the golf committee, he said, “So, what we have here is a golf tournament with no cussing, no drinking and no gambling! I’ve never seen anything like this, and yet everyone seems to be having a great time!”
It is a great time for ministers from around our state convention to get together for fellowship. All skill levels are represented at the golf tournament. It also provides an opportunity for ministers to visit the campus of Judson College to learn what is available for the young women of their churches. Judson offers an outstanding educational experience in a Christian setting.
At this year’s tournament there will be a $10,000 hole-in-one prize. Other hole-in-one prizes include a set of Nike irons, a Panasonic 32” LCD television and a $500 Visa gift card. A steak dinner will be served on Monday evening. Each flight is made up of four golfers with a first and second prize being awarded to each flight. Door prizes will also be awarded. The tournament is limited to the first 72 players who register. For more information or to register, call Lesia Hightower at 334-683-5109.
Editor’s Note — David Byrd is pastor of Northside Baptist Church, Jasper, and chairman of the Judson College golf committee.
