This is an excellent deal! The scramble begins with a memorial toast at 12:30 PM, shotgun start at 1 PM, and concludes with refreshments and awards at 5 PM.

Jason Manthorne spent the last 13 years at the University of Georgia as an undergraduate and graduate student in the Department of History, completing his PhD in History in summer 2013. Tragically, Jason passed away suddenly last November, leaving a void with his family and friends as well as his students and colleagues at UGA. In addition to being a well-respected teacher and a skilled historian, Jason was also an avid golfer.
