SANFORD — Almost 200 golfers turned out for the biggest and best yet Golf Classic fundraising tournament sponsored by the Central Carolina Community College Foundation.

The 21st annual event, held Sept. 22 at Quail Ridge Golf Course, has raised more than $40,000 so far, with donations still coming in. In the last five years, more than $150,000 has been raised by the tournament. 

The funds are used primarily for scholarships for students at the college’s campuses and centers in Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties as well as those taking classes by distance education. The money also helps to sponsor summer technology camps for community youth and faculty training.

“This is definitely the best tournament we’ve ever had,” said Phil Bradley, of Sanford, who has headed the foundation’s golf committee since the event began in 1989. “We couldn’t do it without all our sponsors, volunteers and those who participate. We particularly want to thank The Pantry, Inc./Kangaroo Express for being our major sponsor this year, the first one we’ve had in the tournament’s history.”

A total of 188 players hit the links in foursomes, playing in Superball/Captain’s Choice tournaments in the morning or afternoon.

“My foursome from Chatham County had a great time playing, even though we didn’t win” said Bill Milholen, of Siler City. “We know that the big winners are the CCCC Foundation and the deserving students that will benefit through scholarships and financial assistance from the money raised.”

Golfer Bobby Womble, of Lillington, said he has played in the tournament for many years.

“I do it to help the students and to support the college,” he said. “The college is a wonderful organization.”
