MOUNT-VERNON— Brewton-Parker hosted its Second Annual Southern Classic Golf Tournament on Friday, April 20. This year’s tournament was held at Willow Lake Golf Course in Metter, GA, with 54 individuals in attendance.
Comprising thirteen teams, attendees competed in this year’s event for a variety of prizes, including longest drive for both men and women, as well as closest to pin. First, second, and third place prizes were awarded to Team Wally Adams (first place), Team Handy Andy (second place), and Team Paul Thigpen (third place).
The annual tournament serves as a fundraiser for the college. Support for this event comes primarily from local-business sponsorships. This year, over $11,000 was raised thanks to the contributions from 23 sponsors. The money raised from this event will assist Brewton-Parker College in its mission to develop the whole student through the application of Biblically-centered truth to a liberal arts curriculum in a community of shared Christian values.
