The inaugural “Tee It Up For Sean” Memorial Golf Tournament was held June 19, 2006, at Five Oaks Golf and Country Club in Lebanon. The event, a smashing success, attracted some 170 golfers and over forty family members and volunteers. Proceeds from the event far exceeded organizers’ expectations for a first-time event.

The opening activity of the day was a non-competitive, recreational, nine hole event for children twelve and under. Thirty young golfers participated. For many, it was a first time on a first class golf course. The main event of the day was a four-man scramble tournament with a one p.m. “shotgun” start. Some 144 adult golfers took part. All youth golfers received a commemorative T-shirt and trophy. First, second, and third place prizes were awarded to teams in three different flights participating in the main afternoon event.

Proceeds from the event certainly contributed to the success of the endowment fund. In addition, the fund has grown as a result of hundreds of donations from friends, family, and other supporters of Cumberland University and the Putman/Montgomery families.
