College, and Florida A&M University.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE
All registration fees are non-refundable. As a 501(c)(3) organization,
proceeds from the Bluff City HBCU Classic directly support SGA’s Fairway
Fund — funding equipment, travel, and scholarships for HBCU golf programs
at Fisk University, Tennessee State University, LeMoyne-Owen College, and
Florida A&M University. Your commitment to this event is a commitment to
that mission. Every registration puts resources directly into the hands of
student-athletes who represent the next generation of leaders in and beyond
the game. We are grateful for your investment in this community and in the
legacy we are building together.
Player substitutions within your registered foursome are welcome at any time
at no additional charge. Contact hello@socialassociation.org to update your
roster.
RAIN OR SHINE POLICY
The Bluff City HBCU Classic is a rain or shine event. All registrations are final and non-refundable unless the event is cancelled by the Social Golf Association due to circumstances beyond our control. In that case, registrants will receive a full refund or credit toward a future SGA event.
