10.12.04 From left, Monty Wooley, Bob Edgar, Phil Phillips and Matt Phillips Erskine alumni, friends gather at The Patriot for Fund the Fleet golf tournament The Patriot Golf Club at Grand Harbor was the picturesque setting for this year's Fund the Fleet golf tournament Monday. The seventh annual tournament was attended by 57 golfers, which included Erskine alumni, faculty, staff and friends. The purpose of the Fund the Fleet golf outing is to raise money for the athletic program at the college. Proceeds from the tournament are used to directly support the young men and women who participate in athletics at Erskine. "We had a beautiful day, an awesome course and there was a lot of good golf played," Director of the Annual Giving and Alumni Affairs Ralph Patterson said. "We also had a great meal, fun fellowship and most importantly, raised some money for Erskine athletics." Athletic Director Mark Peeler was equally enthused. "The Fund the Fleet tournament has become a tradition here at Erskine," Peeler said. "It sends a positive message to our student-athletes when people come out to play in a tournament that is designed to benefit them.” First-place team honors went to Ken Kennett, Jeff Pfeiffer and Dave Pfeiffer, while the Erskine alumni team of Kevin Parker, Glenn Hammett, Chuck Boher and Max Gregory finished second. Patterson, former Erskine College director of public relations Jason Peevy and Buddy Brooks finished third. Joe Hancock took top individual honors, Bob Edgar finished second and Jeff Pfeiffer was third. There were two closest to the pin competitions. Ken Kennett was closest to the pin on #7, while Dave Pfeiffer was closest to the pin on #17. Longest drive competitions took place on #1 and #10 and Jeff Pfeiffer took top honors on both. The Patriot, a Davis Love III signature 18-hole golf course, is named to reflect the Revolutionary War history of the neighboring Town of Ninety Six. At the epicenter of the course is a magnificent earthen fort surrounded by moats and underground cart path tunnels of antique brick. The Fort's ruins, gun turrets and other unique design features memorialize the historical importance of the area. |
