Thirty-four teams of golfers took over the
Cobblestone Golf Course in Acworth Sept. 25 for the 2nd annual
Cobb Homecoming Classic tournament. A benefit for the Cobb
Educational Foundation, the tournament raised more than $43,000
in funds that will directly impact Cobb students and teachers.
Tournament attendees began the day by getting
fitted for individual golf shoes and enjoying a pasta luncheon.
The tournament 'teed off' with a bagpipe performance by Mt.
Bethel Elementary Assistant Principal Don McCook, accompanied by
the North Cobb High School drum line. Soon after, the golf carts
rolled onto the course for the competition. Many of the
participants represented companies that do business with the
District, strengthening the connection between the Cobb
community and our schools.
Following the 18-hole tournament, golfers
joined Foundation volunteers back at the clubhouse for the
Tailgate Awards Party. The evening featured a silent auction
fundraiser, grilled chicken and hamburgers for dinner, and
awards for the tournament and putting contest winners.
Proceeds from the tournament will be used for
student scholarships and Teacher Impact Grants through the
Foundation.
