Registration is under way for 18th BCCC Foundation Golf Tournament


Registration is now under way for the 18th annual Beaufort County Community College Foundation Golf Tournament to be held Friday, Oct. 21, at the Washington Yacht and Country Club.

Potash Corp – Aurora is the primary sponsor of the tournament, held each year to raise money for scholarships to BCCC.

Other co-sponsors of the tournament include Lee Chevrolet-Buick, East Carolina Bank, First South Bank, CenturyLink, P & G Manufacturing Inc., Stanadyne, Tideland EMC, Carver Machine Works, Wells Fargo Bank, JKF Architecture, 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.

The entry fee ― $70 per player ― includes lunch, cart rental, and greens fees. Mulligans will be sold this year.

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 both 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-Buick and Park Boat Company will also be available.

Team and hole sponsorships are now being accepted. For more information or a registration form, contact Marcia Norwood at 252-940-6218 or visit www.beaufortccc.edu.
