WINSTON-SALEM, NC ⸺ The Psi Phi chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. is inviting everyone to sign up for the Psi Phi Chapter 8th Annual College Scholarship Golf Tournament. The tournament will be held August 9 at the Reynolds Park Golf Course, 2391 Reynolds Park Road in Winston-Salem.
“Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a novice golfer, this event is perfect for everyone,” said tournament co-chair Rodney Taylor. “It’s an opportunity to make a difference in the community while enjoying a round of golf with friends.”
The two-person, captain-choice format has a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Teams can sign up to play on a first-come, first-served basis for $160. The fee for an individual player is $80. Proceeds from the golf tournament assist Psi Phi chapter in providing scholarships to deserving students in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools as well as other community service initiatives in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.
Psi Phi Basileus Richard Watkins is excited about the upcoming tournament and plans to participate. “A day on the greens is always a good day,” Watkins said. “We invite the community to get ready to tee off for a good cause and help support scholarships for deserving high school students.”
Psi Phi chapter not only talks the talk – it also walks the walk when it comes to supporting educational initiatives in the community. Just recently, the chapter provided $11,000 in scholarships to 11 students from six high schools in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. In addition, the chapter donated $2,000 to Cook Literacy Model School – formerly Cook Elementary School – to enhance the school’s literacy initiatives.
The chapter is intentional about its support of educational initiatives. Since the founding of Omega Psi Phi 114 years ago, the fraternity has stood on the pillars of its founding principles of manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift.
Teams and players must sign up by June 30 to participate in this year’s tournament. Sponsorship opportunities are available. All queries should be directed to Taylor at (336) 705-0332 or co-chair Rodney Hatton at (336) 830-4267.
