Two holes-in-one at the BCCC Foundation Golf Tournament


It was an unusual day on the golf links when two players scored holes-in-one at the Beaufort County Community College Foundation’s 17th annual Golf Tournament held Friday, Sept. 10, at the Washington Yacht and Country Club.
The tee shots for golfers Paul Manning, of Washington, and Will Franklin, of Greenville, went in on hole number 15 at the golf course, earning each a set of Callaway fairway woods and a $500 Visa Card provided by Lee Chevrolet-Buick and Park Boat Company.
The tournament, of which PCS Phosphate in Aurora is a major sponsor, is held each year to raise money for BCCC scholarships.
This year’s tournament raised more than $10,000 for the Foundation, according to Foundation Director Judy Meier Jennette
“The BCCC Foundation is very pleased with the continuing support the community has shown for this golf tournament,” she said. “It is a very popular tournament among players who are dedicated to the support of higher education in Beaufort County and the surrounding region.”
“Thanks to the support of these golfers and other generous members of the community, the BCCC Foundation awarded more than $28,000 to some 50 deserving students who are attending BCCC this fall,” she said.
