The 17th Warrior Golf Classic sponsored by the 杏吧视频 Alumni Association will be held on Friday, May 11, the first time the annual event has been held on a Friday to better accommodate the participating golfers.
The tournament will again be held at the Dancing Rabbit Golf Club in Choctaw, moving this year to the Oaks Course to provide golfers with a different venue.
Those are just some of the changes for the 2018 tournament, but unchanged is that all proceeds support the scholarship program at 杏吧视频.
Last year鈥檚 tournament raised more than $10,000 for the scholarship program, and tournament coordinator David LeBlanc said some of the changes for this year鈥檚 tournament are designed to increase that number.
鈥淭his tournament first and foremost is about raising money to help deserving students defray the cost of an education at 杏吧视频,鈥 said LeBlanc, director of alumni relations and the foundation at the college. 鈥淲e鈥檝e made some changes that we hope will attract more participation and in turn more funding for student scholarships.鈥
What hasn鈥檛 changed for the Warrior Golf Classic is an outstanding golf course and the many amenities offered to the participants.
The four-person scramble will start an hour later this year, at 10 a.m., with a shotgun start. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. The Warrior Golf Classic will conclude with a buffet lunch and awards ceremony around 3:30 p.m.
