JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 4, 2006) - The East Tennessee State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will hold its third annual All-Sport Golf Tournament on May 1 at the Ridges Golf and Country Club. The tournament will once again honor of the late Tim Mullins, ETSU's former compliance coordinator.

The event - which will benefit the ETSU Pirate Club Scholarship Fund - will bring together fans and alumni of the Buccaneers, current ETSU student-athletes and coaches, and the program's administrative staff for a day of socializing on the golf course. Festivities will begin at 8 a.m. with a continental breakfast, followed by an 9 a.m. shotgun start, and lunch will follow at 1 p.m. along with the awarding of prizes. ETSU athletes and coaches will be available to sign autographs and mingle with supporters.

Individuals wishing to support the tournament can do so by playing -- $150 (individual), $600 (four-man team) - or becoming a tee or green sponsor ($250). All tee and green sponsorships come with a spot for one player in the tournament.
