This will be the first such monument ever constructed on the grounds of any state capital.

The tournament will be a four-person scramble with a charge of $50 per person. Citizens and businesses are asked to sponsor a hole at a cost of $60 and this can be done in honor of/or in memory of, a military relative. A sign with your sponsorship and the name of your serviceman or servicewoman will be placed on the tee box of the hole. A $600 sponsorship is also available and those businesses will have their names published on a large banner for all the golfers to see. Mr. Paul Garrett, the State Chairman of this drive, is very appreciative to Fairfield Bay and the people in Northcentral Arkansas for their willingness to assist in this endeavor. If you would like to be a major sponsor, sponsor a hole, or enter a team, please call the Indian Hills Pro Shop at 501-884-6018. All golfers will receive snacks, drinks, lunch, and a chance to win a new truck and a Golf-Getaway to Pebble Beach. Why not have fun and support the Gold Star Families all at the same time.
