The 26th annual Grizzly Golf Classic, presented by Southern Bank, will take place Oct. 11 at the West Plains Country Club.
The tournament, hosted by the Grizzly Squad, will be a three-person scramble benefitting the Bo Pace Memorial Scholarship and Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) Grizzly Athletics operations.
Pace, who passed away in August 2020, was an avid supporter of Grizzly Athletics. He gave his time and talents to the Grizzly Squad executive committee, served as emcee at several fundraisers for the athletics department and was one of the executive directors, along with his wife, Sunie, of the NJCAA Division I Women’s National Volleyball Tournament when it first came to West Plains in the 2000s and 2010s.
Check-in begins at 10:30 a.m. Participants will tee off at noon.
Golfers are welcome to practice their swings at the driving range with range balls prior to the event’s start time.
Lunch and premium Grizzly prizes will be provided to all participants. Special prizes will be awarded to flight winners.
