Inaugural Bearkat Invitational Golf Tournament
2/23/2014 6:27:00 AM | Athletics
The inaugural Bearkat Invitational Golf Tournament, hosted by the Bearkat Champions Fund, will be played Monday, April 14, 2014, at Sterling Country Club at Houston National.
The tournament is the sole golf outing for the department this year as Sam Houston athletics consolidates dozens of events and activities into a more manageable schedule of six key fundraisers.
Sterling Country Club at Houston National boasts one of the finest golf layouts in the Southwest with casual elegance, championship golf and Texas hospitality. Sterling Country Club was rated the #1 Houston course and Houston National the #6 course for 2012 by the USGA according to the Houston Business Journal.
Proceeds from the tournament will help enhance the educational and athletic experience for the more than 350 student-athletes who represent Sam Houston State University on the field and in the arena.
Participants may directly support an individual sport of their choice by directing their contribution to that sport's enrichment fund within the Bearkat Champions Fund.
The Bearkat Champions Fund is the sole fundraising arm for Bearkat athletics, benefitting all student-athletes who compete on Sam Houston State's 17 varsity teams. Its primary goal is to provide both coaches and student-athletes with the resources they need to build upon recent success and to win championships.
The golf tournament, beginning with a 10 am shotgun start, will be a four-man scramble format and prizes will be provided for the top 3 teams on each course. Single entry into the golf tournament is $300, while a foursome is $1,200. Hole sponsorships are also available at $500 each and can be paired with a foursome for only $1,500. Food and beverages will be provided throughout the day.
