Life Together, Inc. is a nonprofit that serves the Mississippi Tri-State area and particularly Memphis, Tennessee. Children and youth, seniors, the incarcerated, and the socially disadvantaged have benefitted from Life Together programs for more than a quarter-century.
Bishop David Hall, Executive Director of Life Together LLC, continues to share his life’s vision for positively impacting lives while growing the organization’s reach. This year, he announces the Life Together Stakeholders Open Inaugural Golf Tournament that honors golfers both past and present.
“Our goal is to shine a light upon the ‘old-timers’ that were denied the right to play professional golf because of race,” says Bishop Hall in the tournament’s registration packet.
“Our goal is to create a renaissance for persons among the urban environs of Memphis while providing programs that uplift youth, seniors, and the disadvantaged. Life Together is dedicated to holistic living and serves individuals regardless of race, color, or creed.”
The tournament will be conducted on September 25, 2021, at North Creek Golf Course in Southaven, MS. Onsite registration starts at 7:30 a.m., and tee time is at 9:00 a.m.
A featured highlight at the event: Each of the 18 tee boxes will bear the name of a past or present golfer who has displayed excellence, ancillary support for the African American community and sustained, undeniable love for the game. Bishop Hall believes that keeping those names alive and remembered is very important.
After the tournament is played, a presentation ceremony for the winning teams and various contests will be conducted. The last event will be the presentation of the inaugural winner of the Greg Odom Excellence Award for Amateur Golfers. Named in honor of the late Greg Odom, Sr., a businessman and amateur golfer, this award will be presented annually.
