Walraven Golf Tournament to kick off in mid-April

All students, faculty, staff and alumni may compete in the annual scramble

The annual Walraven Golf Tournament is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. April 15 at the BEAA golf course located at Eden Valley Road in Rome.

The tournament is open to Georgia Highlands College students, faculty, staff and alumni, according to Dr. Ken Weatherman, professor of physical education.

Prizes will be given to the first and second placed teams in the tournament. Prizes will also be given for the winners of a "closest to the hole" contest and a long drive contest.

Team selections will be determined by the tournament director.

This year's tournament will be a scramble format, which involves each team member hitting a shot and choosing the best ball location from among all shots. This format continues until the ball is holed out. Men will play the white tees while women will play the red tees.

The cost for this year's tournament will be $21 for individuals who are riding a golf cart and $12.50 for those who wish to walk. Individuals may register for the tournament by completing a registration form and paying the entry fee in the Office of Physical Education on the Rome campus. The registration deadline is 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14.

This deadline will be strictly enforced.

The tournament is named for the late Dr. Wesley Walraven, the former vice president of academic affairs of Georgia Highlands College. "Dr. Walraven was an avid golfer and always enjoyed playing in the tournament during the tournament's early years. We named the tournament for Dr. Walraven the year after his death," Weatherman said.

Anyone needing additional information may call Weatherman at 706-295-6353 or email him at [email protected].
