The Montana State University College of Business (C0B) annual golf tournament is scheduled for Friday, September 17, 2010 at the Riverside Country Club in Bozeman. The four-member, scramble format tournament is open to all players and will begin with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start.

As the only CoB fundraising event, the profits will be used to fund student enhancement programs and scholarships. At the last scholarship banquet, April 2010, three “Friends of the Classic Open Benefit Golf Tournament” scholarships were awarded to business students Tyson Johnson, Tonia McCarmish and Kate Oswald.

Participants may sign up as single players or a team of four. The tournament entry fee is $125 per golfer, which includes lunch, an entry prize, two mulligans, a Gimme Stick, the awards ceremony with tasty hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and great team and individual prizes. This tournament does sell out, so early reservations are encouraged.

Continuing the tournament tradition, players on the team with the best gross score will have their names etched in the prestigious traveling crystal trophy and receive the honor of displaying the trophy at their place of business throughout the year. Last year’s winning team, sponsored by RightNow Technologies, was comprised of Devin Gray, Ben Fisher, Willie Eide and Aaron Schubert.

The tournament has been very successful in past years, and the CoB is excited about the positive feedback and interest received for this year’s tournament. The success is due largely to the generosity of the sponsors, prize donations and the enthusiasm and spirit of the golfers. We thank Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and Cory Pulfrey who co-sponsored the event last year.

For those who wish to make a contribution to the tournament, tee box and other sponsorship options are available. These contributions give participating businesses strong visibility at the event, as well as ensure the golf tournament’s success.
