Popular charity golf tournament seeks sponsors for sold-out event

The Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw is the backdrop for MUST Ministries’ annual golf tournament. Set for Sept. 10, the double-flight event is sold out but is still seeking sponsors.

The 224 golfers will play on Pinetree’s 7,108-yard championship par 72 golf course where legends like Arnold Palmer, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead and Tommy Aaron have played during its 56 years.

TSA Inc. (tsa.com), the title sponsor, provides high tech solutions to business and industry. “At TSA, we're honored to support an organization as strong and dedicated as MUST Ministries,” said Brian Spivey, Managing Partner. “The way MUST Ministries serves those in need continues to inspire our company. Every single one of us is blessed and excited to be a part of the merciful work that MUST Ministries does in our community.”

All proceeds from the tournament benefit the 30,000 people a year who come to MUST seeking help and hope. It is a faith-based, volunteer-driven organization that provides food, housing, employment services and clothing to those living in poverty. Most of MUST’s clients - 84 percent - are women and children in Cobb, Cherokee and six surrounding counties.

The annual golfing fund raiser includes a meaningful testimony from a former teacher and coach who was laid off and had to seek help from MUST. The day will also include meals, drinks, raffles, contests, auction, mulligans and PGA gift packs. Check-ins for the two flights start at 7 and 11:30 a.m.

Sponsorship levels include title ($10,000), flight ($5,000), eagle ($2,500), birdie ($1,250), contest ($300) and hole ($200).

Remaining specialty sponsorships include breakfast ($1,000), lunch ($3,000) and dinner ($1,500).

Prizes will be given for the first and second place teams, the longest drive, the straightest drive, the closest to the pin, the putting contest and a hole in one contest.
