Another Successful Carolinas Golf Reunion

 

70 players representing 14 teams competed in the Carolinas Golf Foundation’s event (CGF), The Reunion, at Pine Needles Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C. on November 14th. 

 

After a Sunday-evening gathering, Monday kicked off the event which was played at one-low net plus one-low gross per hole.  Those emerging on top were Robby Kirby, George Kornegay, Steve Wilkinson, Russell Kornegay and Will Straub. The reigning North Carolina Mid-Amateur Champion Ryan Nagy, Mark Raynor, David McClure, Kevin Kornegay and Kyle Simpson earned runners-up.  Present and past PGA Tour players competing included Harold Varner, III and Clarence Rose.

 

“This event has brought many of us golf-lovers together to celebrate the game in the Carolinas and to raise some money for some good causes,” said former PGA Tour winner and 1978 North Carolina Amateur Champion Clarence Rose.  “The CGA has been a big part of my life since childhood and this is a great way to see old friends and continue to support their great work.”

 

The event, in its 11th year, raises money for the CGF which donates monies annually to Youth on Course, CGF college scholarships, and 20+ golf-related Carolinas-based golf initiatives.  The CGF celebrates its 44th year this year having donated over $2,500,000 to these worthy causes.  A big thank you goes out to Pine Needles Resort, site of four U.S. Women’s Open Championships, for hosting this event.
