JANE COVINGTON CLASSIC- MAY 10, 2010

Sixty-four golfers participated in the event that started with a warm welcome from Pin High Corporation President John Worley and host Golf Professional David Lackey. The four junior girls hit the ceremonial tee shot in unison and the sixth Jane Covington Classic was officially underway.

The word “wow” was the most exclaimed word of the day as the golfers got their first look at the newly renovated golf course, grand ballroom and other improvements around the complex.

Out on the golf course, the golfers not only competed for the top prize but also for the numerous contests that were held around the golf course.

Ben Shadoan and Elizabeth Hill won men and women’s longest drives, Ron Huber and Hilda Hall won Straightest Drives, and Phil Hillen and Karen Burke won the closest to the pins.

The team of Cecelia Barksdale, Sara Murphy, Kimberly Case and Lea Venable successfully defended their title with a total of 56. Second place went to the team of Barbara Irons, Marianne Frick, Karen Wolfe and Shirley Deasy.

The biggest winner of the day was the WSCGA Vicki Hillen Foundation. With the participants, volunteers, and community members uniting around this common goal, each of them were giving back to the game that has enriched their lives in so many different ways.

The foundation strives to enhance the lives of juniors through exposure to the game of golf by fostering competition, sportsmanship, and appreciation for the integrity of the game.

The Foundation hopes that we can continue to work together to provide playing and recreational opportunities for all junior golfers as well as preserve the history of the Women’s South Carolina Golf Association, which was founded in 1948 to promote and serve the best interest of women’s amateur golf in South Carolina.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the participants who spent their day with us, the Orangeburg Ladies Golf Association, Host Professional David Lackey, Club Manager Dan Cook, and Mr. John Worley.

Most importantly I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tourville for all they have done through the years to help make the Jane Covington Classic a success and to “South Carolina’s First Lady of Golf” Jane Covington for lending her name to this wonderful event, and for all she has done for Women’s and Junior Golf in the State of South Carolina.

We hope that you enjoyed the day and we appreciate your support of The WSCGA Vicki Hillen Junior Golf Foundation.
