Bobcat Classic a success
The Tenth Annual Sodexho/Bobcat Golf Classic at the Harbor Club in Greensboro, Ga. generated at least $25-thousand for Georgia College & State University Athletics scholarships on Monday Sept. 9th.
An official total may not be available for a couple of days until all of the funds from various contests can be counted.
The Sodexho/Bobcat Classic is one of two major fundraisers held every year to help generate money for Bobcat student-athletic scholarships. Nearly 200 golfers participated in the four-man 18-hole scramble.
In the morning session, the foursome of Beasley, Hewett, Milner and Serff won the first flight with a round of 54, while the four- man team of Dyer, Gladney, Hewitt, and West won the second flight with a 65. John Steensland showed he could shoot more than just three pointers, as the former Bobcat basketball player won the longest drive contest. Lady Bobcat assistant basketball coach Jonathon Barbaree won the longest putt.
In the afternoon session, the foursome of Duckworth, Greene, Prosperi and Sheppard took home top honors in the first flight with a round of 53, while Deariso, Dyer, Gladney, and Clarity won the second flight with a 57.
Weaver, Pursley, Pursley, and Miller won the third flight with a 60, while Peters, Lebrun, Thornton, and Jaworski won the fourth flight with 62.
Boyd, Painter, Painter and Prosser won the fifth flight with a 66.
Debbie Painter won the longest putt competition, and Ernie Venet won the longest drive.
GC&SU would like to thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and golfers for making the event the most successful in the ten year history of the tournament.
