The first tournament was held in 2015 and was planned to honor retiring President Sparky Reeves. He had been a driving force behind the success of the nationally recognized intercollegiate Jets and Lady Jets basketball program during his 11-year tenure as President of the prestigious two-year institution. The tournament was named in his honor in recognition of his leadership and support of athletics at South Georgia Technical College.

The tournament is a three-person scramble. Cost is $100 per person or $300 per team. There are also $100-hole sponsor opportunities. If individuals would like to place a team in the tournament and be a hole sponsor, the cost is $375.00.

Teams will be treated to lunch at 12 noon and there will be a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Teams can also purchase an additional package for $50 which includes mulligans (2 per player), ball toss (1 per player), and string (10 ft. per team). Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and for the two longest drives, and two closest to the pins.

The deadline to register for the tournament is Thursday, September 26th and entry is limited to the first 40 teams. Registration fee includes lunch, greens, and cart fees.
