NCC to Host 28th Annual Golf Tournament
For years, area golfers have supported the Nash Community College Foundation and its scholarship program by participating in the NCC Foundation Student Scholarship Golf Classic. On October 6, 2017, golfers will have a choice to tee off at 8 AM or 1 PM at Benvenue Country Club in Rocky Mount at the 28th Annual Nash Community College Foundation Student Scholarship Golf Classic.
The format for the 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 Cummins, Inc. Rocky Mount Engine Plant, Franklin Street Partners, North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, Oakley Collier Architects, Sandy Cross Consultant Services, Team Harris, Team Tyson and Nash Community College Student Government Association.
Golfers will have a chance to win a 2017 Buick Regal 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.
The planning committee will host a pre-tournament party on Thursday, October 5 in the NCC Library from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Complimentary tickets are available with each sponsorship package. Two individuals will be admitted per ticket. Attendees will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres provided by NCC Culinary Arts, NCC craft brews and wine, a liquor cash bar, entertainment, a chipping contest, putting contest, a silent auction featuring great items including jewelry, spa and dining experiences, original art, weekend getaway and more. Tickets are available through sponsorship purchase.
