Dear editor,

On behalf of ABAC Athletics, I would like to thank the community for its support of the inaugural ABAC Athletics and Hall of Fame Golf Tournament at ABAC’s Forest Lakes Golf Club on November 2. This event will allow us to honor our Hall of Fame members and develop the next generation of Fillies and Stallions.

We are grateful for the teams that competed in the tournament, as well as the ABAC Athletics Hall of Fame members who attended.

We would especially like to thank our Gold Sponsors, Planters First and Tift Regional Health System, as well as our Green Sponsors, Ameris Bank, MRS Homecare, The Stallion Shop, Chick-fil-A, SIM&S Inc., and Drew and Shirley Wilson.

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!
