Entries being accepted for Karlh McCallister Memorial Outing

(Greenville) Entries now are being accepted for the Fourth Annual Karlh McCallister Golf Outing, planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Turtle Creek Golf Course, 6545 State Route 36 East. 

Proceeds from the event benefit Bridges to College. 

“This has been a fun, successful event in the past,” said Marlise McCallister, who is coordinating the outing. “Last year, we had 100 golfers participate.” 

McCallister encouraged golfers to register early. 

“Because this outing is held on a Saturday, it is quite popular,” she said. 

This year, golfers may register online at the Bridges to College website at www.bridges2college.org. For convenience, golfers may also pay online. 

The outing will be in a four-person scramble format with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. The entry fee is $90 per person and includes green fees, golf cart, reverse raffle entry, and meal (pasta bar). There will be golf prizes for winners as well as skills contests for closest to pin, longest drive and longest putt. Golfers can also purchase additional reverse raffle tickets for $10 each. 

“If someone is interested in participating, but doesn’t have a team, please contact me,” McCallister said. “We will put together teams.” 

The Karlh McCallister Golf Outing also is accepting corporate and hole sponsorships at this time. Hole sponsorships are $50 and corporate sponsorships are $100. Sponsorship forms are available online at the Bridges to College website. 

“We hope that golfers will come out to enjoy a fun day of golf, to honor the memory of Karlh McCallister, and to support Bridges to College,” McCallister said. 

Karlh McCallister, a Greenville businessman, was instrumental in starting Bridges to College, a non-profit organization that helps students go to college through educational programming, mentoring, and scholarships. 

To top off a fun day of golf, the Golf Outing committee is a pasta bar dinner. The reverse raffle, drawing for the elite raffle, and awards for the golf outing will take place then.
