SFCC golf tournament scheduled for July

Friends and supporters of the State Fair Community College Athletic Department can participate in the 10th annual SFCC Golf Tournament, benefiting athletic scholarships. The event will take place on Monday, July 26 at the Sedalia Country Club. The three-person scramble will cost $100 per person, which includes 18 holes of golf, a cart, and lunch. The golf tournament will also include a live auction which will start 45 minutes after the afternoon round is finished.

Proceeds from the event will go toward athletic scholarships. The men and women's soccer teams' scholarship is the Mike Bryson Memorial Scholarship. The women's basketball team scholarship is the Bob Oehrke Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship for the men's basketball team is the Kent Gwaltney Memorial Scholarship. The baseball team's scholarship is the Ross Dey Memorial Scholarship and the softball team's scholarship is the Mandy Thomas Memorial Scholarship. There will also be a Women and Men's Cross Country and Track and Field Scholarship to be named later. SFCC athletics will also have a scholarship that will be used for all sports.

Participants will have a choice of a morning or afternoon tee time. The morning group will tee off at 8 a.m., followed by the afternoon group at 2 p.m. The prizes for the golf tournament will be Sedalia Country Club Pro Shop credit.

The tournament will be divided into four flights, with the top four places in each flight winning pro shop credit, based on a full field.

There will be live and silent auctions again this year. These auctions will give supporters the opportunity to bid on items and the proceeds will be used to support the scholarships. Please contact SFCC Athletics if you have an item or items that you would like to donate to either auction.

"In the silent auction, I would expect us to have different kinds of autographed sports memorabilia," said Talbot. "I would also expect to see items from the athletic teams at SFCC. We also have different spa packages available for those in attendance to bid on."
