The South Georgia Technical College Jets Booster Club will be hosting the 11th annual Sparky Reeves Classic Golf Tournament on Thursday, October 2, 2025 at the Griffin Bell Golf and Conference Center in Americus, GA. Everyone is encouraged to participate and all proceeds will go to the South Georgia Technical College Jets Booster Club to support the Jets and Lady Jets athletics.
The first tournament was held in 2015 and was planned to honor retiring President Sparky Reeves. He had been a driving force behind the success of the nationally recognized intercollegiate Jets and Lady Jets basketball program during his 11-year tenure as President of the prestigious two-year institution.
The tournament was named in his honor in recognition of his leadership and support of athletics at South Georgia Technical College. He passed away at his home on August 2, 2023 but hoped that the tournament would continue and provide financial assistance to the student athletes at SGTC.
The tournament is a three-person scramble. Cost is $100 per person or $300 per team. There are also $100-hole sponsor opportunities. If individuals would like to place a team in the tournament and be a hole sponsor, the cost is $375.00.
There is also a “BIG TIME” Sponsorship package for $500 which includes team, hole sponsorship and $50 Sparky package and special recognition at a Jets Home Game. The “Sparky” package for $50 per team includes mulligans (2 per player), ball toss (1 per player) and string (10 ft. per team).
Teams will be treated to lunch at 12 noon and there will be a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and for the two longest drives, and two closest to the pins.
Entry is limited to the first 40 teams. Registration fee includes lunch, greens, and cart fees. For more information contact SGTC Athletic Director Jason Carpenter at jason.carpenter@southgatech.edu or Terri Battle at tbattle@southgatech.edu or 229-931-2719.
