PRESS RELEASE

April 2, 2012

The Panhandle Seminole Club held its 2011 Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament on March 23, 2012 at the Indian Springs Golf Club in Marianna. A storm front moving through our area held off just long enough for the golfers to finish their rounds without getting caught out on the course. The foursomes, playing “best ball”, then enjoyed a fabulous BBQ meal under the grand pavilion at the club house.

The golfers, along with our many scholarship (hole) sponsors, again helped raise scholarship funds for deserving local students to attend Florida State University. The Club has awarded over $40,000 over the past ten (10) years to help support the pursuit of higher education.

Results of the tournament (and cash prizes were awarded to):

First place team: Tony Gurganus Sr and Jr, Calvin Nelson, Larry Crawford;
Second place team: Ronnie Allen, Caitlin Allen, Connor Allen and Chris Farris;
Third place team: Dr. Jerry Kandzer, Jim Mercer, Dave Johnson, Frank Laughlin.

Individual accomplishments include:

Long made putt (hole #10): Harry Bailey at 16 ft, 10 inches,
Closest to the pin (hole #5): Matt Milton at 5 ft, 9 inches,
Closest to the pin (hole #8): Matt Milton at 10 ft, 8 inches,
Closest to the pin (hole #13): Harry Bailey at 14 ft, 1 inch, and
Closest to the pin (hole #18): Ronnie Allen at 10 ft, 8 inches.

The Club wishes to thank the many, many (hole) scholarship sponsors, especially FOCUS Credit Union for being our Platinum Sponsor and Badcock Home Furnishing Stores of Graceville and Marianna for their continual donation of prizes.

All of our sponsors and golfers helped make this scholarship endeavor a continuing success for local aspiring students.
