Tee Up for Tunes Golf Tournament October 1st!




How's your swing? Nah, not the music -- your golf swing! Join us for a day of golf, food, prizes, and fun on Thursday, October 1 at 11 a.m. at the "Tee Up for Tunes" golf tournament benefiting The Natchez Festival of Music at Beau Pre Golf Club on Highway 61, just south of Natchez.

Lunch is at 11 a.m. followed by a Shotgun Start. Three- or four-person scramble is permitted. Members of the first-place winning golf team will receive $150 each; the second-place team will receive $75 each; and the third-place team $50 each.

Other prizes include closest-to-the-hole on Par 3s. Teams with fewer than three players get one extra shot using rotation. If you need to join a team, please let us know so that you can be placed in a group. Refreshments will be served on the course.

The player’s fee of $100 includes lunch, beverages on the course, and unlimited range balls. Players may purchase two Mulligans for $10.

Play will be from the white tees; seventy and over from the gold tees; and ladies from the red tees.

This tournament is a fundraiser for the Natchez Festival of Music, now in its 20th year of bringing world-class music to Natchez and the surrounding area. The Natchez Festival of Music generates approximately $2 million annually for the local economy while helping to establish Natchez as a cultural destination.

Come on out. You'll have a ball!

For more information and enrollment, please call Pam Wood at 318.452.79049 or 601.446.6356.

ARTISTS AUCTION


Jessica Medoff Bunchman, Will Earl Spanheimer, and Michael Bunchman are some of the most talented and beloved artists who have performed with the Natchez Festival of Music. Jessica and Michael have been part of the Festival for the past two years, Will Earl for the past three years.


All three have fabulous résumés and have performed in major locations throughout the nation. Will Earl has also been a part of the Puccini Festival in Italy for several years. Jessica and Will Earl each perform a wide variety of music, including Broadway and modern hits, opera, religious music, classical selections, and other favorites. Michael will accompany Jessica as a duo or will be available as a concert pianist.


Each of these artists is available to perform for a very special event for an individual or a group.


George Hogan, the Artistic Director for the Natchez Festival of Music and the Director of Opera/Musical Theatre at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor, was one of the top bass opera singers in the world during his singing career. He has offered to play a game of golf with the person who acquires him in the auction, as well as to perform for a special event.


This is a rare opportunity to have an artist of this quality who will help make your event a most memorable occasion.
