The 20th-annual Ancilla College Golf Classic at the Swan Lake Resort had thirty-nine teams take part in raising money for the growing college.
After 19 years at the Plymouth Country Club, the Golf Classic was moved to Swan Lake to accommodate future growth. Tom Sibal, associate director of institutional advancement and tournament organizer said, “We made a change in venue this year to Swan Lake. Having two golf courses to play on really helped to move the day along. We were able to finish play for 39 teams in just under four and a half hours. Everyone raved about playing at Swan Lake. I couldn’t be happier with the results.”
This year was the most successful for the event. The tournament, which followed a four-person Florida scramble format, raised over $25,000 for the Annual Fund which supports student grants and scholarships for the college. Guests walked away with nearly $12,000 worth of gifts in the form of door prizes, goodie bag favors and drinks and snacks on the course thanks to the generosity of 82 area businesses and individuals.
