The benefits that come from awarding scholarships not only mean something to those who receive them, but also to those who give them. On Saturday, August 14, the brothers of Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. hosted the 4th annual Sponsorship Golf Tournament at Reynolds Park Golf Course.

Of the record turnout 108 golfers who played a captain’s choice format, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place men’s winners are as follows:

* First flight:  1st place Chris Ingram/Floyd Greene and Jay Smith/Brian Manley. 2nd place, James “Buck” Mitchell/Jim Gress. 3rd place, Johnny R. Williford/Gilbert Hail. 

*Second flight: 1st place, Richard Thomas/Charles Butler. 2nd place, Judge Beaty/Joe Crocker. 3rd place, Cameron Witherspoon/John Ruff. 

*Third flight: 1st place, George Odom/Terry Bellamy. 2nd place, Derrick Witherspoon/Arthur Horton. 3rd place, Greg Harris/Jerome Chandler.  

In the newly created women’s division, the winners are: 

*1st place, Tonya Phifer/Veronica Clemons. 

*2nd place, DD Adams/Rita Winston.

Psi Phi Chapter would like to thank the following: Reynolds Park Golf Course, Jimmy John’s for providing lunches, to the golfers who participated, to our many hole sponsors, to those who donated items for our gift bags, door prizes, raffles, the silent auction and the purchase of mulligans, and to the Psi Phi Chapter brothers, ladies and others who volunteered in various capacities, Without you, the tournament wouldn’t have been a success.

Proceeds from the 4th annual Psi Phi Chapter Sponsorship Golf Tournament will go toward the chapter awarding scholarships to males about to attend college and the chapter’s ongoing community projects.  

Donnie Holt and Cornelious Flood are co-chairs of the Psi Phi Chapter golf committee. C. Andre Crawley is Psi Phi Chapter Basileus.
