Whitt Harper Memorial Golf Classic
Honor a Legacy. Strengthen Our Manufacturing Community.
For more than 22 years, the MRMA Annual Golf Tournament has been more than a day on the course, it’s been a tradition that brings together manufacturers, suppliers, educators, and business leaders to support the future of manufacturing in our region.
This year, that tradition takes on even greater meaning.
We are proud to introduce the MRMA Whitt Harper Memorial Golf Classic, named in honor of Whitt Harper, a longtime MRMA Board Member, passionate advocate for manufacturing, dedicated Golf Tournament Chairman, and beloved friend. Whitt’s leadership, generosity, and commitment to bringing people together helped shape this event into one of MRMA’s most cherished annual traditions.
By joining us as a golfer, sponsor, or supporter, you’ll help carry forward the legacy he built while investing in the next generation of manufacturing professionals.
Join us Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Ocala Golf Club for a day of competition, connection, and community.
