Event Raises Funds for Angelina College Athletics
The 17th Annual Guy Davis Golf Tournament, hosted by the Roadrunner Foundation, wrapped up on Saturday following Friday evening’s Kickoff Dinner, and the entire weekend proved a success as the biggest fund-raiser for Angelina College Athletics programs.
Nearly 250 golfers hit the links for Saturday’s tournament in support of AC’s student-athletes, with some of those golfers traveling from out of state to keep the date.
With AC athletes working the tournament as scorekeepers, cart drivers, hole monitors and other roles, the event also provided the golfers an opportunity to meet and mix with the Lady Roadrunners and Roadrunners. Coach Davis and his wife Dorothy also made appearances at both the dinner and the tournament, where many of the coach’s former players returned for a visit with their mentor.
Saturday’s on-course competition was competitive, as usual, with just one stroke separating the first and second-place teams. Texas Timberjack posted the overall low score of 54 (-18); the team consisted of Marshall Hensley, Reid Hensley, Brandon Williams, Roy Zenor and Steve Bradley.
The “Can’t Handicap” team (Jack Kennedy, Cragg Todd, Ryan Self, Josh Zeleskey and Matt Courtney) carded a 55 (-17); the Joe Hancock Insurance team (Reid Hensley, Chase Luce, Max McCarty, Tyler Sullivan and Jaylon Mark finished with a 14-under 58; the Greenway Carriers, LLC team (Jake Stephens, Mike Terrell, Chris Covarrubias, Greg Stephens and Elijah Terrell) carded a 59 (-13); and teams H&E Equipment (Joey Ray, Clayton Ray, Randy Crawford, Clark Chandler and Michael Johnson) and Double T&S Home (Scott Hinkelman, Micah Montes, Blake Diebold, Zach Weidinger and Randy Lindley) each came in at 12-under (60) to cap off the leaders.
This year’s golfing took place at the Neches Pines Golf Course in Diboll while the usual site – Crown Colony Country Club in Lufkin – continues its renovations.
