NCC to Host 27th Annual Golf Tournament
Area golfers have provided 26 years of support for the Nash Community College Foundation and its scholarship program by participating in the NCC Foundation Student Scholarship Golf Classic. Golfers have a choice to tee off October 7th 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. Registration begins at 7 a.m. All proceeds from the golf classic will provide student scholarships and support the needs of Nash Community College.
The format for this year’s tournament will be Captain’s Choice. 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. Prizes will be awarded to each flight’s first and second-place teams. This year’s grand tournament sponsors are Sandy Cross Consultant Services, Franklin Street Partners, Institutional Interiors, Oakley Collier Architects P.A. and North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives. Golf carts are sponsored by Braswell Foods, MBM Corporation, McLane Carolina, Rocky Mount Mills, Sharp Business Systems and Wells Fargo. 2016 Hospitality and Event Contributors are Benvenue Country Club, Canteen Vending Services, Carolina Eagle Budweiser, Inc., Davenport Autopark, and Speight’s Trophy Shop.
Golfers participating in the 27th Annual Nash Community College Foundation Student Scholarship Golf Classic will have a chance to win a 2017 Buick Cascada as a hole-in-one prize sponsored by Davenport Autopark. Additional prizes will be awarded for closest-to-the-pin and the longest drives. Raffles and door prize drawings will give golfers an opportunity to win many other items donated by area businesses and individuals.
