“We are grateful to the many sponsors and players who make our annual tournament possible,” said Dr. Cathie Cline, EACC President.  “In the past, we have received support from many local and regional businesses and players who come out for a great day of golf.  We hope golfers and anyone who enjoys golf will join us again this year for the annual event,” said Cline. 

The tournament will follow a 4-person scramble format. Entrants in the tournament may form their own teams or enter individually. Single entries will be assigned to a team and teams will be flighted after the round. The number of flights will be determined by the number of entries.  Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams in each flight.

A lunch buffet with all the trimmings will be provided and check-in for players will begin at 11:30 a.m. The shotgun start begins at 1:00 p.m. The entry fee for players will be $125 for each player or $500 for each team of four payable to the EACC Foundation. All entries should be mailed to the EACC Foundation C/O Niki Jones at 1700 Newcastle Road, Forrest City, AR 72335 or they may be dropped off at the EACC Fine Arts Center. To ensure a tee time, register by Wednesday, June 5th.  Forms are available on the EACC website at EACC.edu.
