Hubbard to Play in Celebrity Shootout

Former Atlanta Braves second baseman Glenn Hubbard is slated to appear at the Sixth Annual Rome Braves & Floyd County Police Department Celebrity Shootout Golf Tournament on Friday, November 14, 2014, at Barnsley Gardens Resort. Hubbard spent twelve years as a major league player, 1978-1987 with Atlanta and 1988-1989 with Oakland. He was also an All Star in 1983 and served nine seasons as coach in the Braves minor league system. From 1999 - 2010, Hubbard was part of the coaching staff of the Atlanta Braves and recently has worked in the Kansas City Royals organization.   

The tournament is set in a scramble format with a shotgun start at 11am. A Par three hole will be deemed the Celebrity Shootout hole where a team can invite a celebrity to take a shot. Competing teams have the opportunity to purchase an extra shot at the Par 3 hole for the celebrity to hit a shot off the tee. This annual golf tournament has donated a total of over $50,000 to local and National charities. 

The proceeds from this year's event will benefit Summit Quest Cancer Support Services. Since 2007, Summit Quest has been dedicated to providing support services and meeting the needs of those affected by cancer through various means: Circle at the Summit (a youth focused support group for children ages 6-17 who are facing cancer directly or who have a parent or loved one affected by the disease), Outdoor Adventure Trips, Youth Cycling Programs, and Team Tiger Flight. 

Team fees are $450 and include lunch, a goody bag, and raffle tickets. Individual golfers can register for $150 each. Hole sponsorships are available for local businesses and individuals to show their support as well.
