Christian Brothers University Golf Tournaments Benefit Athletic Scholarships Spring Creek Ranch Golf Challenge on June 18
Brother Mark Sullivan Tournament on October 8
Memphis, TN--This summer, Mid-South golfers will have the opportunity to play on a new Jack Nicklaus' designed golf course and benefit student athletes attending Christian Brothers University. Nominated as one of the country's best new private courses, Spring Creek Golf Ranch will be the setting for a CBU golf tournament on Monday, June 18. The golf course at Spring Creek measures 7,341 yards from the longest set of tees and all holes offer distinct challenges, testing even the most accomplished golfer.
Sponsorship for a team to participate in the Spring Creek Ranch Golf Challenge is $2,500. Other sponsorship opportunities are title sponsor ($10,000); awards ceremony ($5,000); lunch ($2,500); cart ($1,000); and putting contest ($500).
On Monday, October 8, golfers can again participate in the annual Brother Mark Sullivan Memorial Golf Tournament at Galloway Course. The cost is $150/player or $600/team. Open to the public, the Brother Mark Sullivan tournament is traditionally part of CBU's alumni reunion weekend and will be the culminating event of this year's reunion weekend, October 5-8.
Mike Daush, CBU Director of Athletics, believes the Spring Creek Ranch Golf Challenge and the Brother Mark Sullivan Tournament are great opportunities to raise athletic scholarships and visibility for the University: "By sponsoring a foursome, you can spend a day playing golf with business associates and friends on one of the country's premiere golf course and help some outstanding student athletes."
Space for the Spring Creek Challenge is limited to 22 teams. The schedule includes lunch at 11:30 a.m.; a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m.; and cocktails, food, and awards ceremony at 5:30 p.m. For registration and sponsorship information, contact Mike Daush at 321-3374.
