The Seminole State College men’s and women’s golf teams are gearing up for an exciting spring season, and the community is invited to support their journey at the SSC Golf Fundraising Tournament on March 1, at the Jimmie Austin Golf Course in Seminole.

The tournament will feature a 4-person scramble format and the entry fee covers the green fee, cart, and lunch. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. Participants will also have a chance to purchase $5 mulligans and compete for awards, including prizes for top-finishing teams, closest to the pin on holes 8 and 13, and longest drive on hole 2. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the SSC men’s and women’s golf teams.

Head Coach Ronnie Williamson expressed his enthusiasm for both the fundraiser and the upcoming season.

“I’m really excited about the spring season for both our men’s and women’s teams,” Williamson said. “We have a talented group of student-athletes who have been working hard, and I can’t wait for them to showcase their skills in competition.”

Following the fundraiser, the Trojans will officially kick off their spring season from March 9-13 in Wichita, Kansas. The men’s team, in particular, is coming off a historic year, highlighted by Carson Newton becoming the first All-American golfer in Seminole State College history. Newton secured a ninth-place finish at the Division II NJCAA Golf National Tournament in May 2024.

Community members and golf enthusiasts are encouraged to come out and support SSC golf at this fundraising event. For more information or to register a team, contact Ronnie Williamson at (405) 380-2867 or r.williamson@ sscok.edu.
