Southern Arkansas University’s 5th Annual Rip Powell Invitational Golf Tournament has been postponed until Friday, May 1, due to the threat of inclement weather. The National Weather Service has forecasted a strong chance of severe thunderstorms for April 24, the tournament’s original date.
Organizers say the tournament will follow its original schedule with one flight beginning at 8:30 a.m. and another starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Magnolia Country Club. The event is presented by Mustard Seed Financial.
Pushing the date back is allowing registration to re-open for the few remaining team spots. The entry fee is $400 per team or $100 per player. Golf carts are available to rent for an additional $35. The entry fee includes breakfast, lunch, and a goodie bag.
Proceeds from the tournament will be used to name the Mulerider football field in honor of long-time Head Coach Rip Powell.
