STARKVILLE, MS – The 2019 PGA Golf Management Family Weekend added another win in the record book! Not only did Mississippi State claim the victory over the Kentucky Wildcats (28-13), the weekend brought great weather, food, and fellowship. Approximately 200 students, parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends joined in the weekend’s festivities.
Similar to past years, the event kicked off in McCool Hall for a dinner and silent auction. The silent auction benefits both the PGA Golf Management Club and PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere). Items up for auctions included Mississippi State signed sports balls from current coaches and memorabilia from the U.S. Women’s Amateur that was hosted at Old Waverly Golf Club.
Per Program tradition, each family in attendance received a gift respective to their class standing. Freshman families received a MSU PGA Golf Management logo cowbell; Sophomore families received a MSU PGA Golf Management logo maroon sweatshirt blanket; Senior families received a set of laser-etched MSU PGA Golf Management drinking glasses; and Graduating Senior families received a picture frame with their prospective pictures in the frame. We look forward to seeing each family return every year to collect all four gifts!
Kickoff for the football game on Saturday against the Kentucky wildcats was announced for 3:00pm, setting the stage for a perfect early afternoon tailgate. The weather was picture perfect and allowed students, families, and friends an afternoon to remember.
On behalf of all PGA Golf Management students and staff, we would like to thank all the family members and friends that were able to attend! We appreciate your time, effort, and support of the Program. We hope to see everyone again during next year’s Family Weekend!
