UMobile, Judson prepare for upcoming golf tournaments

It’s that time of year again — tee time.

On April 29, the 14th annual University of Mobile (UMobile) Classic golf tournament, presented by Catfish Junction in Saraland, will be held at TimberCreek Golf Club in Daphne, and May 9–10, the 49th annual Ministers Golf Tournament, sponsored by Judson College in Marion, will be held at Marion Military Institute’s golf course.

The deadline to register for the UMobile tournament is April 16.

All proceeds will benefit scholarships provided by the UMobile annual fund.

Registration will begin at 11:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m.

A post-tournament dinner and golf polos will be provided to all golfers, and many prizes will be awarded.

Opportunities for sponsorships are still available.

To become an event sponsor or register, contact Allison Nelson, alumni coordinator, at 251-442-2226 or Hali Givens, director of annual giving and alumni relations, at 251-442-2212 or visit giving.umobile.edu.

The ministers tournament is open to all ministers serving Alabama Baptist State Convention churches or agencies.

“We welcome ministers from across the state and look forward to a time of fellowship, good golf and moments to share news about Judson College,” Judson President David Potts said.

And there’s more than just the game to look forward to. An assortment of prizes provided by local businesses will be given away at the traditional banquet dinner May 9.  Flights, or divisions, for the tournament will be assigned after the May 9 round, and prizes will be awarded to first and second place golfers in each flight. Prizes also will be awarded for closest to the pin, longest drive, birdies and eagles. Special hole-in-one prizes include a $10,000 cash prize for the eighth hole, a Nike driver or irons, a Bose Wave music system and a $500 gift card.

Every golfer will receive a coupon redeemable at 100ThingsToBuy.com.

The registration fee includes meals, lodging, linens, green fees and carts.

Registration is available for the first 72 golfers only.
