17th Annual Golf Tournament set for Sept. 10


The 17th annual Beaufort County Community College Foundation Golf Tournament will be held Friday, Sept. 10, at the Washington Yacht and Country Club.

The tournament, sponsored by PCS Phosphate, is held each year to raise money for scholarships to BCCC.

Co-sponsors of the tournament are Lee Chevrolet-Buick, East Carolina Bank, First South Bank, Embarq, Flanders Filters, JFK Architecture, P & G Manufacturing Inc., Tideland EMC, Carver Machine Works and Park Boat Company.

The tournament format will be a four-person super ball with teams pre-flighted based on each golfer's handicap. There will be two tee times offered ― 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.- with a limit of 20 teams per session.

This is the third year that the tournament will offer two tee times to accommodate the growing number of golfers who want to participate, according to Judy Meier Jennette, director of the BCCC Foundation.

"In recent years, we offered two tee times and this was a very popular format with our players so we wanted to continue that same format this year," she said.

The entry fee remains the same as last year ― $70 per player ― and includes lunch, cart rental, greens fee and two Mulligans.

The largest single annual fundraising event for the college, the tournament typically raises more than $10,000 for scholarships and programs supported by the BCCC Foundation.

Team prizes will be awarded by 18-hole score in each of three flights in the morning and afternoon session. Four prize packages for "closest to the pin" shots will also be awarded. Hole-in-one prizes sponsored by Lee Chevrolet-Pontiac-Buick and Park Boat Company will also be available.

Team and hole sponsorships are now being accepted.
