KENNESAW, Ga. — Kennesaw State Athletics enjoyed record-setting outcomes from the 31
st annual Dot Martin Scholarship Golf Classic held May 18 at Governors Towne Club in Acworth, Georgia.
Under the direction of KSU Development and Revenue Enhancement, the fundraising event attracted a record 120 players, increased its revenue by over 24% and posted its highest profit margin since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Dot Martin Scholarship Golf Classic provides a unique opportunity for Owls Fund donors, alumni and the local community to interact and directly support KSU student-athletes through the funds raised at the tournament. Since the inaugural tournament in 1995, the Dot Martin Classic has prided itself on exemplifying the philosophy of its namesake, the late Dorothy "Dot" Martin. Mrs. Martin ardently believed in raising the standard to provide KSU student-athletes with a world-class education.
