This event will allow us to honor our Hall of Fame members and develop the next generation of Fillies and Stallions.

Thanks to your generosity, event proceeds will support our six intercollegiate sports at ABAC which include baseball, softball, soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s golf.

Proceeds also benefit the intramural program.

Congratulations to the tournament champions Rob Williams, Charlie Clarke, Tim Parker and Bubba McGriff. The closest-to-the-pin winner was Guy McLung, and the Longest Drive winner was Tim Parker.

We would also like to thank everyone in the community for your support of ABAC Athletics. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s tournament on Friday, November 1, 2019!
