The Match: Support the Military Edition was an epic golf tournament held at Eagles Landing Golf Course in Stockbridge Georgia on May 8th, 2023. The event brought together two esteemed organizations, the Montford Point Marines and the Tuskegee Airmen, in a friendly competition. The purpose of The Match was to honor the brave men and women who served in these historic military units and to celebrate their legacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors who made this event possible: Central Station Sports Restaurant, Southern Company, Quick Trip, Mobile ITNT solutions, Virtual Properties Realty, Quezessential Consulting, PXG, The PGA Store, Atlanta Falcons, Minutemen Press, and Al Burnett. Your support is invaluable in preserving the history and achievements of our military heroes. We also express our sincere appreciation to Major General Crumbly for his inspiring remarks during the tournament. Your words of motivation and encouragement resonated with all participants, and we are grateful for your presence. Below are a few photos from this historic event.
