PENDLETON --- Tri-County Technical College's 16th Annual Alumni Association Golf Tournament is set for Saturday, April 6, at Falcon's Lair in Walhalla. The Towne House Restaurant, located in downtown Anderson and owned by Keith Claramunt, is the sponsor of this year's tournament.

A 2002 Ford Ranger will be awarded for the first hole-in-one on Hole 5. This prize is courtesy of Edwards Auto Sales Company in Walhalla.

Tee-off time for the Captain's Choice tournament is 8:30 a.m. A $60 per person registration fee is required. This includes cart, green fees, breakfast, lunch, beverages and two mulligans. The Wyndham Myrtle Beach Resort and Arcadian Shores Golf Club has donated a two-night stay for the lucky first-place winners. Awards will be given to the winners. You do not have to be an alumnus to participate.

Alumni officers urge persons and companies to consider the following sponsorships: silver ($500) and gold ($1,000), in addition to holes at $100 each and/or carts at $25 each.

Proceeds from past tournaments have enabled the Alumni Association to endow two scholarships through the College's Foundation, which are awarded annually to deserving Tri-County students. Proceeds from this year's tournament will complete the Alumni Association's pledge to name a room in the Health/Science building. These funds will make professional development opportunities available for faculty and staff.
