The 24^th Annual IBERIABANK/BRTC Foundation Golf Tournament had another successful year and raised almost $40,000.

The tournament was held October 6 at the Rolling Hills Country Club in Pocahontas.  Proceeds from the tournament go toward to student scholarships.  In fact, the golf tournament is the largest fundraiser for BRTC scholarships.

Winners of the afternoon Championship Flight were, in 1^st place, Dr. Joe Jones and Mark Jones; 2^nd place, Dillon Cox and Hunter Ashcraft; 3^rd place, Brett Liebhaber and Ron Mangold.  Winners of A-Flight were, in 1^st place, Parker Sutton and Austin Pike; in 2^nd place, Mike Miller and Jack McCord; in 3^rd place, Jacob Hester and Greg Ward.  Winners of B-Flight were, in 1^st place, Bill Bailey and Phil Taylor; in 2^nd place, Dr. Josh Toney and Shane Martin; 3^rd place, Chris Robinson and Michael Dickson.  Closest to the pin winners were Hunter Ashcraft, Paul Carr, Jeff O’Donnell, and Matt Hibbs.

Running this event would not be possible without the help of all the volunteers including the BRTC Foundation Board members, staff and board members of the Rolling Hills Country Club, BRTC faculty and staff volunteers, and employees of IBERIABANK, Baltz Chevy-Olds, and Integrity 1^st Bank.

In addition, more than 120 individuals and organizations gave money, goods, and services to the tournament.  Without these sponsors, the event would not have been possible.  More importantly, many students will benefit from scholarships essential to completing their education at BRTC.
