Charity Golf Tourney Set for Aug. 30

The golf tournament will be held on Aug. 30 on The Frog golf course, located at The Georgian.

The South Paulding Spartans baseball team, their coach and their fans hope that they can use their upcoming annual golf tournament to raise funs to replace about $20,000 worth of stolen equipment. The golf tournament will be held on Aug. 30 on The Frog golf course, located at The Georgian.
On Aug. 10 the team's field house and supply room was robbed of about $20,000 worth of equipment and merchandise. 

"Our facility was broken into and a lot of items were stolen or damaged early Saturday morning," said Head Coach Pecos Galamore in an email. "It is very heartbreaking."

"We've worked extremely hard to try to make this place a facility that if we needed something fixed or worked on, we had the tools and equipment to get it done. We had different power equipment to keep the field as good as anywhere. And now, its all gone."

Galamore reports that the police were called and they came along began conducting a crime scene investigation. Items were reported that were missing with an estimated cost.
