The Bill Carey 36th Annual Golf Scramble
The Original!
In 1976, REALTOR® Bill Carey coordinated a new fundraiser to benefit the charity of his choice - the American Diabetes Association - among other local needs and requests.
His new idea was to sponsor a one-day golf scramble, with 144 players, on a warm June afternoon, and with prizes for everyone who participated. Enjoy some lunch, socialize, and have some fun!
This new event would also be played at his new development on Highway 231 called Fox Run.The Four-Man Format allowed any player to be part of the team - regardless of skill level - playing best-ball from each player's shot.
If a play got a hole-in-one, they would win a new CAR!
Many gifts and prizes were added to engage more players and support for the Diabetes Association.
In 1997, Bill saw a need for additional support for the REALTOR® Scholarship Program, and volunteered to share the proceeds of this event to help fund additional scholarships.Over the years, many other groups have started a tradition of fun and funds through golf scrambles, but this is the ORIGINAL - the FIRST charity golf scramble in Rutherford County! This annual event - now proudly supported and coordinated by MTAR and its members - has raised over $200,000 to support these programs!

MTAR Scholarship Program
A portion of the proceeds from this special event is allocated to the MTAR Scholarship Program. Coordinated thru the Public Relations & Member Services Committee, the Golf Scramble provides financial assistance to deserving students in OUR hometowns. Annually, eligible incoming Freshman enrolling at MTSU, Motlow State or Tennessee Technology Centers submit applications for scholarship consideration. As much as $1000 annually is available for approved students. It's just one of the many ways MTAR makes a difference in OUR community.
MTAR is looking for 36 Teams (that's 144 players). Each team consists of four individuals: Men, Women, members, and non-members are invited to participate in this day of food, fun and sun (usually!).
