The 2008 Thomas Scott Memorial Golf Tournament…it’s Tiki-tastic!

The Tom Scott Foundation and PGA Professional Jason Jerman invite everyone to come participate in Nevada’s most unique and fun golf tournament… the Thomas Scott Memorial Golf Tournament, Saturday, August 9, 2008 at the Spring Creek Golf Course. Registration begins at 6:30 AM with a 8 am conch shell start. Cost is $40 per person and includes a luau-style lunch, a free golf lesson, and a tournament goody bag. Cart and green fees are extra.

The tropical-themed 2-person scramble features an auction; contests for longest drive, longest putt, and closest to the hole; and team “clubhouse cash” prizes for low Net and Gross scores with the top teams netting $200 each. Special theme holes include: Texas Tees, Paradise Vacation, and Marguerita Mayhem Hole.

Tournament proceeds benefit many organizations. In past years, the Tom Scott Foundation has awarded monies to Great Basin College by means of a memorial scholarship to students, Spring Creek Golf Course Junior Golf Program and other organizations that demonstrate the TSF’s mission statement, “To further academic and athletic opportunities for the youth of Elko County.”

Earlier this year the TSF made a commitment to continue assisting the Junior Golf Program. "The donations will be used for equipment and resources associated with the program", said Spring Creek Golf Course Professional and program coordinator Jason Jerman, "We really appreciate all the help the volunteers have given us these last years. It's a fun tournament for a great cause."

Besides the Junior Golf program, the committee has donated to the Igloo organization, the Spring Creek High School Golf Team, the Gamble Oak Pony Club, the Cinderella Scholarship Pageant, Sage Elementary School, Spring Creek Trap and Skeet, and Adopt a Family among others.

The Thomas Scott Memorial Golf Tournament is dedicated to and held in memory of Mr. Thomas Scott. An Elkoan for many years and underground miner for Newmont Mining Corporation, Thomas J. Scott was just 30 years old when he was suddenly taken from his family and friends in a tragic accident on January 9, 2001. Tom is survived by his wife, son and many friends who miss him. The tournament is the committee’s way of memorializing Thomas for his love of family, friends and life. Tom was not only a loving family man but an active member of the community.

Anyone wishing to donate a hole sponsorship, auction item, raffle prize or other services should contact the Tom Scott Foundation, the governing organization for the memorial.
