Area Auto Dealers to Participate in Patriot Golf Classic

Five area auto dealers have donated vehicles as prizes in UT Tyler’s 2003 Patriot Golf Classic on May 19.

The five vehicles will be placed on par 3 holes at Hollytree Country Club, site of the tournament. The first amateur contestant to make a hole-in-one on one of the par 3 holes will win the vehicle displayed on that hole.

“We certainly appreciate the community support that is extended to the university through this event each year. The generosity of these dealers adds to the excitement of the tournament, and we’re extremely grateful,” President Rodney H. Mabry, said.

The goal for this year’s fundraiser is $125,000. Proceeds benefit the UT Tyler scholarship programs for students at the university’s Tyler, Longview and Palestine campuses.

Participating dealers and the 2003 vehicles they are providing are King Chevrolet, Tahoe; Classic Toyota-Mercedes Benz, Toyota Tundra; Mike Pile Autogroup, Jeep Grand Cherokee; Wagner Cadillac, Escalade; and Tyler Ford, Thunderbird.

The UT Tyler Patriot Golf Classic will consist of a field of 36 teams teeing off in the morning and afternoon. Golfers will play a four-person shamble format.

Former UT quarterback Major Applewhite will be the guest speaker at the tournament’s luncheon for players and sponsors.

With a 22-8 record as a starting quarterback at Texas, he holds the sixth best record in university history, as well as the university’s career record for touchdown passes with 60.

Bryan Rossman, Tom Slack, Amy Gould, Linda Davidson and Greg Patterson are the volunteer chairs of the tournament.
