DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern Oklahoma State University's 11th annual Presidential Golf Classic will be held Friday, June 13, at Chickasaw Pointe Golf Resort.

Prizes will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place teams. There will be prizes for Closest-to-the Pin and Longest drive for both men and women. Winning teams will have names added to the President’s Cup Trophy.

There will be a continental breakfast and lunch, with dinner served during the Awards Ceremony (approximately 2-3 p.m.).

Registration begins and the practice range will be open at 7:30 a.m. with the continental breakfast at 8 a.m.
