MTA’s
17th Annual Yard Dawg Classic Tournament, held June 25th, continued the successful run of MTA’s biggest golf event of the year. It was back in Starkville and held at the MSU Golf Course. Festivities began Monday night the 24th with a Hospitality Reception at the MSU Bull Barn hosted by Gold Sponsors AGRA TURF • BWI • GREENVILLE TURF & TRACTOR • HARRELL’S • JERRY PATE TURF & IRRIGATION • LADD’S • SIMPLOT. Also, thanks to the MSU Foundation for providing beverages. Pat Sneed and Jimmy McPherson had the golf course in great shape and it was fun to play! The weather even cooperated. Following play, prizes were awarded. MTA is, indeed, fortunate to be supported by so many loyal sponsors—there is no way we could provide such an excellent event without their help. A BIG thanks to all our sponsors! v
