A team of golfers from Douglas won the second annual Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Ag Classic Golf Tournament held recently at the Spring Hill Country Club in Tifton.

The team, sponsored by Bayer Crop Science, consisted of Billy Smith, Kenny Powell, Rex Hill, and Larry Hutcheson. They shared a $1,000 cash prize.

Finishing second was a team of golfers from Moultrie that included Bill and Billy Edwards of Edwards Motors, Chip Blalock of the Sunbelt Ag Expo, and Jim Turner of WMTM Radio. The team members divided a $600 cash prize.

Greg Blias of Ambling Companies in Valdosta won the longest drive competition. Mike Williams and Dr. Ed Seagle of ABAC and Rusty Harrellson of United Banking Company in Nashville all took home closest–to-the-pin prizes.

Proceeds from the tournament are used for scholarships and other activities for students in ABAC’s Division of Agriculture and Forest Resources.
