Administaff Teams With Hall-of-Famer Kenny Houston to Present Pro-Am Celebrity Golf Event
Tournament to Benefit Local Scholarship Organization

Administaff, Inc., the nation's leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO), announced recently that the company will be the first-ever title sponsor of the Kenny Houston Hall of Fame Golf Classic, to be held Nov. 9-10, 2001, at the Kingwood Country Club, 1700 Lake Kingwood Trail.

Both organizations formally announced their partnership at a news conference, where Administaff representatives presented a check for $25,000 to the Southern Texas Professional Golfers' Association of America (STPGA) Scholarship Foundation. Proceeds from the tournament will also benefit the foundation.

"We are pleased to be the first title sponsor of such a prestigious and worthwhile community event," said Jay E. Mincks, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Administaff. "We are honored to be associated with Kenny Houston and all the others involved with this tournament, and we appreciate their ongoing support of organizations like the Southern Texas PGA Scholarship Foundation."

Tournament director Rob Lynch said, "This is the fifth year for the tournament, and we are thrilled with the addition of Administaff and their commitment to help us raise money benefiting charities in and around our community. We look at the move to Kingwood Country Club as the start of a long-term relationship to promote positive role models through golf and raise money for our charities, and we are thrilled about the role the Southern Texas PGA will play in this year's event."

The Administaff Kenny Houston Hall of Fame Golf Classic, sanctioned by the STPGA, will feature two rounds of golf at Kingwood Country Club's Forest Course on Friday, Nov. 9, and Sat. Nov. 10. On Nov. 9, teams of three amateurs will partner with a National Football League Hall of Fame member to compete in a scramble format with prize money at stake for the Hall of Fame players. A PGA golf professional will also accompany each team, and will play for a separate cash purse. The Nov. 10 round will feature teams of three amateurs with an NFL Hall of Fame member or local sports celebrity in a scramble format with prizes awarded in various categories.

An awards dinner will also take place on Friday, Nov. 9, honoring Houston-area people for their community work and commitment to various charities benefiting from the tournament.

Among the celebrities scheduled to return to this year's tournament are NFL Hall of Famers Joe Perry, Don Maynard, Leroy Kelly, and Mel Renfro. Houston Comets head coach Van Chancellor, Olympic gold medallist Ollie Matson and NBA Hall of Famer Hal Greer also will be returning to the event.
