NATCHITOCHES -- Golfers, anyone who likes boiled crawfish, and anyone who loves getting a deal in an auction will enjoy being involved in the 2017 Joe Delaney Golf Tournament, Crawfish Boil and Auction Friday at the Demon Hills Golf Course.
Funds generated by the events, which are co-managed by the Coaches Cabinet Association and Northwestern State Athletics, help fund recruiting and other endeavors that are crucial to a successful Demon football program.
The annual Joe Delaney Golf Tournament tees off at 11 Friday morning at the Demon Hills Golf Course. A crawfish boil and auction at the Demon Hills clubhouse starts at 5 Friday evening, which leaves time to catch the NSU-McNeese baseball game starting at 6:30.
Four-person scramble golf teams will make it around the Demon Hills course with copious amounts of food and fun throughout the round. Prizes will be awarded at the crawfish boil.
Team sponsorships are $500 including four golf entries with carts provided, four polo shirts, a tee sponsorship, a gift bag and access to the crawfish boil and auction. Individual entries are $125 per person.
Tee sponsors are $100 each.
A full Delaney Golf sponsorship supporting Demon football is $1,500 including all benefits in the golf and dinner packages.
