Orlando golf tournaments

The Sixth Annual B-CU/FAMU O.C.A.C. Golf Classic, a major fundraiser designed to help the Orange County Alumni Chapters Scholarship Funds of both Bethune-Cookman University and Florida A&M University, will again be held this year at the highly-acclaimed Shingle Creek Golf Club on Fri., Nov. 20, beginning at 8 a.m.

The sixth annual event is presented by the Harris Rosen Foundation and the two college alumni chapters and is one of the most sought after and popular African-American golf classics in the Orlando area. Fifty FAMU and fifty-two B-CU students have received scholarships funded by the tournament since its inception.

The Tournament begins with a continental breakfast and warm-up on the driving range from 7 a.m. - 7:45 a.m. The Classic then tees off at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. Following completion of the round, there will be an awards luncheon from 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

“This will be a sensational day of golf and a magnificent day of fund-raising,” says Dave Scott, Director of Golf at Shingle Creek Golf Club. “We are again honored to host and to be a title sponsor of this prestigious event and recognize the benefits it provides to those colleges and charities that are associated with it.”

Individual and Foursome Packages are still available. The Individual Player Package, which costs $125, includes a goodie bag full of brand name products, continental breakfast, refreshments during the round and one admission to the Awards Luncheon. The Foursome Package, which costs $450, includes the same components as the Individual Player Package, but for four people. A maximum of 144 players will tee it up.

Corporate and individual hole sponsorships are still available.
