Organizers of the second annual Davis & Elkins College Spring Classic Golf Tournament are putting final plans in place for the March 8-9 outing at the top-ranked Sun ‘N Lake Golf Club in sunny Sebring, FL. The fun get-away for golfers and non-golfers supports D&E’s unique Highlands Scholar Program.
Last year’s tournament raised $50,000 for Highlands Scholarships and this year’s goal is set at $100,000.
“While golf is a large part of the event, we have other activities planned for non-golfers to engage in such as pickle ball, painting and local shopping,” says Jamie Joss, director of athletics and member of the Spring Classic committee. “Our dinner Tuesday evening will be a wonderful opportunity to share your D&E experiences with staff, alumni and other supporters of the College.”
Participants may register online or download a form for mailing at www.dewv.edu/de-spring-classic. Registration is available for individual players, teams and non-golfers.
