Southern Wesleyan golf tournament at Pickens Country Club
Golf teams will tee off Monday, Oct. 24, at 8:30 a.m. at the Pickens Country Club for Southern Wesleyan University’s annual Paul B. Wood Golf Tournament, sponsored by First Citizens Bank.
“We’re excited about the fun and competition at this year’s tournament,” said Erin Fellers, Southern Wesleyan University development associate. “We have some exceptional prizes for this year’s winners.”
Each player on the first-place team will receive TaylorMade rac OS irons. Players on the second-place team will win TaylorMade rescue mids. Third-place team members will receive TaylorMade rac black wedges. Other prizes will be awarded for hole-in-ones, closest to pin and longest drive. Door prizes, as well as a golf getaway weekend gift certificate, will also be distributed.
This year’s celebrity golfers will be Geoff Hart, WYFF News 4 sports director, and Bob Mihalic, WYFF sportscaster. Hart and Mihalic will greet the players of this year’s P.B. Wood Golf Tournament and play in the tournament.
“The tournament day begins at 7:45 a.m. with a continental breakfast. The shotgun start is at 8:30 a.m. Lunch, awards and prizes will be at 2 p.m.,” Fellers said.
Registration fees are $400 for a four-person team or $100 for an individual player. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
Proceeds from the Paul B. Wood Golf Tournament benefit Southern Wesleyan University’s Promise Fund.
“The money we raise from the golf tournament will directly benefit students at Southern Wesleyan University by providing scholarships and academic and program support,” Fellers said.
The tournament is named for Dr. Paul Wood, a psychologist and professor emeritus at Southern Wesleyan University.
“During Dr. Wood’s years of service to the university, he has served as a professor, dean of students and academic dean,” Fellers said. “He is also a golf enthusiast.”
