The Trinity Valley Community College Foundation Golf Tournament was held Monday, June 29 at Pinnacle Golf & Boat Club on Cedar Creek Lake in Mabank. Twenty-nine area teams competed to raise money for scholarships for future TVCC students. Trophies were awarded to the top three teams and gift cards to the winners of longest drive and closest to the pin contests.

The Athens Kiwanis Club team of Walter Wilmeth, Philip Gore, Mike Reece and John Passmore won first place; the Prosperity Bank of Athens team of Eddie Lick, Pat Fuller, Matt Anding and Neal Velvin won second place; and third place winners were Tommy Raymond, Sam Grimes, Glenn Walker and Ricky Walker. Mike Reece won the men’s closest to the pin contest, and Brad Rogers won the longest drive. The women’s longest drive and closest to the pin were both won by Henderson County Clerk Mary Margaret Wright.

Mary Nicholson, TVCC Vice president of Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the TVCC Foundation, said she was pleased with the tournament results.

“The proceeds from this tournament will provide scholarship funds for students wishing to attend TVCC. These funds are critical and can make the difference for a student desiring an education. There is so much support for the college and this event,” she said. “We are grateful to our sponsors, teams, and volunteers who make it such a success!”
