MONROE, La.?The annual ULM Outback Classic is set for July 10-11 on ULM's campus and at the Southern Pines Golf Course. The two-day event features a golf tournament, dinner, live auction and silent auction to benefit the ULM men's and women's golf programs.
The dinner and auction will be held in Fant-Ewing Coliseum on Friday night beginning at 6:30 p.m., while the golf tournament will take place on Saturday at Southern Pines with tee times at 8 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
“This is our biggest fundraising event of the season,” ULM director of golf Ashley Tonore said. “All of the money raised goes to support both the men's and women's programs. The weekend is always a lot of fun and we are looking forward to another great event.”
For those who don't wish to play golf, tickets for the dinner and auction are only $100 per couple with the food provided by Outback Steakhouse. Pairings for the golf tournament will also be announced during the evening.
Some of the items up for auction will be a trip to travel with the ULM football team to Tempe, Ariz., for the Warhawks' game against Arizona State, a travel package to the 2009 PGA Tour Championship, a golfing package at Trump National, a riding lawnmower and official ULM team gear. The night will include at least 19 live auction items and nearly 100 silent auction items.
Saturday's golf tournament will be a four-person scramble and teams can register for only $800 with prizes going to the top three teams in each flight. There will also be contests for closest to the hole and longest drive during the event.
