The
14th annual Yard Dawg Classic Golf Tournament will be held at the beautiful Dancing Rabbit Golf Course in Choctaw, MS. This year’s event will feature guest speaker Nathan Crace, Mississippi State University alumni and Mississippi’s only member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. Mr. Crace is principal designer for Watermark Golf and is a frequent speaker for MSU’s landscape architect program. Nathan’s expertise extends beyond land planning. He is a frequent contributor for turf and golf magazines. His freelance column “Lipouts” appears in a number of regional and national publications. He is also an active advocate for the game of golf in modern ecosystems. Golfers may form their own team or sign up as an individual (the tournament committee will assign individuals to teams). All proceeds from the tournament benefit MTA’s scholarship program and turf research at Mississippi State University. To register, complete the form and return via fax, email, or mail. The event offers continuing education points for certified golf course superintendents. A $100 registration fee covers education, lunch, and golf.
