Field is filled for Bobby Nichols Scramble; Waiting list started

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The field of 257 teams -- or 514 golfers -- has been completely filled for the 2012 Pepsi Bobby Nichols Scramble presented by Budwesier, and a waiting list has been started for additional teams hoping to get a late reprieve and secure a last-minute spot in the tournament.

The fund raiser for Tennessee Tech Athletics will take place June 1-2-3 at three area golf courses, featuring three days of golf and two big nights of entertainment on Friday and Saturday. The tournament will feature play at Ironwood Golf Course, White Plains Golf Course and the Cookeville Golf Club. The championship flight this year will finish on Sunday at Ironwood.

"This is the earliest we've filled the entire field since the tournament expanded to a three-day event," said Leveda Birdwell, co-director of the Scramble. "It's a reflection of just how popular this tournament has become that golfers who have participated in past tournaments are anxious to sign up early to guarantee their spot is renewed."

Golfers who are not registered but hope to be added to the field can contact the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center (931-372-3940) to be added to the waiting list.
