The Carthage High School athletic department is getting geared up for the 5th Annual Everett "Sleepy" Reynolds Golf Tournament, which is held each year that is the major fundraiser for CHS Bulldog and Lady Bulldog athletics.
The tournament is set for Saturday and Sunday, July 16-17, at the Carthage Country Club on Highway 79 North. Rounds will be played from 8 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. each day.
The course, which has been closed for some time, is being re-opened just in time for the tournament.
"We're really excited to be the first tournament on the course since the brand new greens have been installed," said Carthage coach Chris Smith. "We're very proud of our student-athletes here at Carthage High School and this is a way for people of the community to come out and support our programs and enjoy good golf, fellowship and food as well.
"Last year we had a lot of participation and everyone had a great time.
"This is our biggest athletic fundraiser of the year and we appreciate everyone that is planning on coming out and supporting the kids."
The tournament is a two-man scramble, with the cost of each team to register of $200. Players will be flighted after the first-round scores and grouped heading into the championship day on Sunday.
There will be a fish fry dinner held Saturday night after the Calcutta.
There will be a number prizes available, including Top 3 in each Flight, the Longest Drive, closest to the Pin and the Putting Contest.
The tournament is named after "Sleepy" Reynolds who was a former long-time athletic director at Carthage High School.
