NCC Plans for 24th Annual Student Scholarship Golf Classic

UPDATE: Due to weather conditions, the 24th Annual Student Scholarship Golf Classic will be held on Thursday, October 17th at Benvenue Country Club.

Area golfers have provided 23 years of support for the Nash Community College Foundation and its scholarship program by participating in the NCC Foundation Student Scholarship Golf Classic. Golfers will have a choice to tee off October 10th at 8 a.m. or 1 p.m. at Benvenue Country Club in Rocky Mount for a day of challenging fun, while providing scholarships for deserving college students.

The format for this year’s tournament will be a Texas scramble. Each member of the team plays a drive from the tee box. The best drive is chosen by the team. From that spot, each golfer plays and continues to play his or her own ball until the hole is completed. The team marks the best score.
