Description:

The 26th annual A-State Golf Classic presented by Liberty Bank will take place this weekend at Hot Springs Country Club. The two-day, two-person scramble will begin Saturday, July 31 with morning and early afternoon tee times. A dinner and auction will follow Saturday evening. The tournament will conclude with multiple flights on Sunday. Governor Mike Beebe is the Honorary Chairman and Senator Paul Bookout is the Honorary Co-Chair.

This tournament is an important part of the university's reach into central Arkansas and has become one of the premier events and fundraisers for A-State athletics. Proceeds support the Men's and Women's Golf teams and the ASU Red Wolf Club, which means more than 325 student-athletes will benefit from the many sponsors and participants

"Liberty Bank is pleased to again be the major sponsor of this year's state-wide fundraiser," said John Freeman Liberty Bank President. "Players from across the state enjoy making this annual trip to Hot Springs to enjoy one of Arkansas' premier golf tournaments. Liberty is proud to be a part of this great event."

"When Liberty Bank came on board as the presenting sponsor last year, it took the tournament to the next level," said Jim Pickens, tournament chairman and ASU Trustee Emeritus. "This is now the largest fundraiser for the athletic department and attracts fans and supporters from across the state."

Limited space is still available for teams wanting to participate. To sign up, call the Red Wolf Club office at 870-972-2401.
