Player spots and sponsorship opportunities are still available for the Methodist Medical Center Foundation’s 2014 Acorn Classic. The annual golf tournament will take place on Monday, October 20, at the Oak Ridge Country Club with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Registration is open for individual players and teams, and a limited number of sponsorship opportunities are also available.
The Acorn Classic is a four-person scramble tournament open to 120 amateur players, a press release said. The entry fee is $150 per player or $600 per team of four, and it includes green fees, cart, lunch, four contest holes, and a dinner awards banquet. Proceeds will benefit the Hospitality Houses of Methodist Medical Center, which provide free lodging to cancer patients who must travel for treatment, as well as other outpatients and families as space allows.
“Join us and help the Hospitality Houses provide a home away from home to patients and their families when it’s needed most,†Acorn Classic Chair Tom Hilton said.
Depending upon the level, sponsorship opportunities may include complimentary player spots, on-course recognition, printed materials, and advertising. Sponsorships are available for the awards ceremony, dinner, lunch, bag drop, driving range, practice green, registration, putting contest, beverage carts, beverage stations, closest-to-the-pin and putting contests, scoreboard, and more, the release said.
