Motlow golf tournament raises over $16,000
Thirty-three teams hit the links at McMinnville Country Club Monday to enjoy a fun day of competition while raising money for a worthwhile cause.

The annual Motlow College Foundation golf tournament, a four-man scramble, raised over $16,000 this year, bringing the total amount of money raised by the foundation’s tournaments near the $90,000 mark.

Several prizes were awarded at the event, which was sponsored by Blood Assurance, Dr Pepper, River Park Hospital and Security Federal Savings Bank. Capturing first place in the championship flight with a score of 58 was the team of Alan Lynn, Bill Rogers, Steve Biles and Dwayne Brown. Second place, in a scorecard playoff, went to Ken Whipple, Corker Deloach, Al Womack and Rick Hutton.

The first flight also came down to a playoff, with the team of Steve Stanger, Jim Jenkins, Jim Smith and Ron Benoit edging the quartet of Don Collette, Alan George, Harry Preston and Ken Martin.
