Signups Under Way for Mickey's Tourney

Fisher A. "Mickey" Tull

A golf tournament held each year in honor of Fisher A. "Mickey" Tull, distinguished professor of music at Sam Houston State University, has been a successful fund-raiser for music scholarships. This year's tournament is June 20 at the Wedgewood Golf Course in Conroe. Entry deadline is June 11.

In addition to great fun for a worthy cause, participants will have the chance to win a car for a hole-in-one, and there will be trophies for long drive (men and women), closest to the pin (men and women), farthest from the hole, and for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams.

Proceeds from the tournament go into the Fisher Tull Memorial Scholarship in the School of Music at Sam Houston State.

Format for the event is a four-person scramble. Play is scheduled to begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. Players may enter as members of teams or individually, to be placed on a team.

The entry fee of $99 per player includes practice balls, cart, refreshments and lunch. Hosting this year's event will be Charlotte Tull and Rod Cannon, chair of the SHSU school of music.

"Charlotte and I are looking forward to seeing all the golfing friends of SHSU music at the beautiful Wedgewood Course," said Cannon.

"We guarantee good golf, good fellowship, good barbeque, good extras, and good benefits for the music program at Sam Houston State."

For those unable to play in the fund-raiser, sponsorships are also available at $100 per hole, with advertisements on a tee box, and $99 to sponsor a music/student golfer as a "designated hitter." Direct contributions to the scholarship fund are also appreciated.

Participants who contact Cannon at 936.294.3808 by June 11 will be sent a map, score card and course layout.
