The tournament was held on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at Pine Tree Country Club
A portion of the proceeds helps to fund the chamber’s scholarship program. This year, the chamber awarded $6,000 in scholarships. Chamber scholarships are renewable for up to four years if the student maintains a “B” average or better.
Winning teams were: first place - Alabama Power; second place - Milam and Co.; third place - the Blackwell/Shelnutt team. The longest drive prize went to Ryan Metcalf, and the closest to the pin award went to Justin Grogan. Plenty of door prizes were awarded, and tournament fees included a bag of goodies for all golfers, greens fees, lunch and a $70 gift certificate to be redeemed in the Pine Tree pro shop.
The tournament’s title sponsors were Senators Slade Blackwell and Shay Shelnutt, and the gold sponsor was APCO Credit Union.
