A Hole-in-One Event: Recap of the 25th Annual Golf Classic
The 25th Annual Golf Classic, held on Monday, May 19, 2025, at Eisenhower Lakes Golf Club, was a great success! We appreciate everyone’s flexibility with the rescheduled date after inclement weather pushed us from our original date of May 12.
The day began with a warm welcome from Col. Anthony Kazor, Garrison Commander at Fort Eisenhower, who officially kicked off the tournament. His inspiring words set the tone for a day of camaraderie, competition, and community spirit.
We are also grateful for the generosity of our sponsors. Food and Beverage Sponsors included Crowne Plaza North Augusta (Beverage Cart Sponsor), Chick-fil-A Augusta Exchange (Lunch Sponsor), Dave & Buster’s (Dinner Sponsor), and Coca-Cola (Beverage Sponsor).
Corporate Sponsors were Enoch Tarver, F&W Transportation Inc., PC Techware, E3 Pallet Solutions, Uniti Fiber, Keen Signs & Graphics, Georgia’s Own Credit Union, Jani-King, Kelly Promotional Products, WOW! Business, and Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Co.

Additionally, we appreciate the support of our Hole Sponsors: Pinnacle Bank, SEGRA, Paceline, Associated Credit Union, Thomas & Hutton, Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate, Extended Stay America Premier Suites & Home2 Suites by Hilton, SRP Federal Credit Union, Augusta Marriott, and Content Recovery Specialists.
Our Media Sponsors—WJBF News Channel 6, The Augusta Chronicle, and WRDW News 12 26—helped us spread the word and celebrate the event’s impact.
Thank you to the many businesses that donated items for our swag bags and raffle—we truly appreciate your contributions to the player experience. A special thank you to Textron for donating the silent auction item, an E-Z-GO golf car, which was an exciting way to wrap up the day!
