War Eagles still looking to fill spots for golf tourney

The Putnam County football team is still seeking to fill a few spots for its golf tournament at Harbor Club on Saturday.

The War Eagles hope to have 10 to 12 golfers from the area compete in their biggest fundraiser of the year. 

“We had a successful tournament last year and are looking to have another one this year,” Putnam County head coach Joel Harvin said. “This is our main fundraiser, and we hope to have a great turnout again this year. There are still a few spots left to get signed up, and we welcome anybody who would like to play for a great cause.”

The tournament will feature a two-person scramble with a fee of $300 per team. The event will begin at 12:30 p.m. and lunch will be provided. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third-place teams.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. A family sponsorship costs $100, while a hole sponsorship costs $200. Additionally, a team sponsorship costs $500 and allows one team to play alongside a hole sponsor. A business sponsorship is available for $1,000, which covers two teams, a hole sponsor, and two premium tickets for the 2025 football season. The corporate sponsorship costs $2,500 and includes two teams, four premium season tickets, one game sponsorship, and a jumbotron advertisement for the 2025 season.

The tournament is important because the money raised will support the team throughout the 2025 season.

“We’d like to provide as much food as possible to these individuals for pre-game meals, post-game meals, or perhaps one meal throughout the week,” Harvin said. “And then any other necessary equipment that we may need for the season will also contribute to that. We like our kids to have the best things. We want to ensure that every penny we raise goes directly back into the football program, allowing our kids to succeed.”
