Bachman Academy Hosts 2nd Annual Fred Lupton Memorial Golf Tournament

  • Wednesday, April 22, 2015

Bachman Academy, a boarding and day school for students with learning disabilities, partnered with Chatata Valley Golf Course to hold the 2nd Annual Fred Lupton Memorial Golf Tournament.  

Mark Frizzell, CEO/Headmaster of Bachman Academy, said, “This tournament is set to make a large impact on the Legg Up Scholarship Fund. The fund, founded by Fred Lupton, will provide much needed scholarship dollars to local students and others who would not be financially able to attend the academy otherwise.” 

Although rain and thunderstorms were persistent all week prior to the tournament, Saturday morning, April 18th, dawned with dry conditions and partly sunny skies.  The day commenced with a shotgun start that began 18 holes of golf.  Players had a chance to win $10,000 with a hole in one.  They also participated in a putting contest.  Lunch sponsored by Stadium Barbecue, a trophy presentation, door prizes and raffle items concluded the day. 

Bachman Academy extends its sincere thanks to Manpower, the event’s presenting sponsor.  Hole sponsors included, Adman Electric, Bailey Ave.

Executive Suites, Don’s Fence Company, Farris Property Management Landscaping and Lawn Care, Homestead Tractor, the Hunt family, Jane Lupton, Northwester Financial Corp, King Construction, Kirksey, Burns & Henry, the Kuye family, ServPro of Bradley County, Sodexo, the Woodard family, and Weller Construction. Special thanks to Aubrey’s Restaurant, Longhorn Steakhouse, Applebee’s, Bilo, Wal-Mart and Publix.  

For more than sixty years Fred Lupton of Chattanooga TN was a volunteer, board member and benefactor of Bachman Academy.  He founded the Legg Up Scholarship fund in memory of a dear friend.
