Lynn Tackett Memorial Golf Tournament

The Lynn Tackett Memorial Golf Tournament is held every year in honor of Lynn Tackett who was in education for 30 years and a volunteer at the Paris Landing Golf Course for 15 years. The proceeds are used to fund scholarships. These are 4 year scholarships and continue for the 4 year term as long as the individual stays in school.










The first scholarship was presented to Katie Beth Glover and in 2011 it was given to Dakota Ealey. Katie Beth will receive her third scholarship this year and Dakota will receive his second. This year's winner is Zach Bell.  The selection process is from Henry County High School. We ask that students who are interested submit a brief summary of activities, grade point average, community participation and what school they plan to attend. From these individuals, a committee selects the student.

Hole Sponsorship is what actually provides the scholarship funds. Team entry fees pay for the golf, lunch and prize money. Anyone interested in sponsoring a hole, it is $100.

The tournament is scheduled for July 14, and begins at 8:00 a.m. For more information on this tournament, please contact DiAnn Tackett at 731-363-0083 or email at dtackett0083@hotmail.com or entry slips can be picked up at Paris Landing Golf Course.
