18th Annual Spring Golf Tournament

Everybody and their brother has a golf tournament these days, but few people have been doing it as long The King’s Academy. Launched by academy alumnus Dan Whitson (’58) in 1994, this spring rite of passage is generally held the second Saturday in May. The SWAT format means lots of fund for golfers of all levels, and with two flights, anyone can get in on the awards. Prizes can be won on every hole, and there are some door prizes presented by random drawing at the conclusion of play. Cost is just $85 per player or $340/team. Major sponsorships are available for $500 and hole sponsorships for $100. Donations of prizes are gratefully appreciated. Alumni and academy friends will gather for the 8:00 a.m. shotgun start at Sevierville Golf Club, Saturday, May 12, 2012. For more information, call the Office of the President or email wgrubb@thekingsacademy.net.
