Southeast Missouri State University will hold a golf marathon Oct. 19 at the Anna (Ill.) Country Club.

The purpose of the marathon is to raise funds for athletics at Southeast. Area golfers are invited to participate.

Each player will secure pledges based upon the concept of playing 54 holes of golf that day. The pledges will then be collected by the Southeast department of athletics. People may pledge any way they want: either a certain amount per hole, a certain amount for the event or other possibilities.

Every player participating will receive several gifts: a Southeast golf windshirt by Reebok; a Reid and Lockhart 60 degree wedge; a pair of Bolle sunglasses; one dozen Titleist golf balls; dinner for the player and spouse on the evening prior to the marathon.

In addition, players will be eligible to win a variety of items based on the amount of pledges they secure.

Anyone wishing to participate should call Southeast athletic director Carroll Williams at 651-2227.
