Georgia Society of CPAs Golf Tournament Funds Scholarships and Student Programs

The Educational Foundation (Foundation) of the Georgia Society of CPAs (GSCPA) recently hosted golfers at Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton, Ga. for their Annual Golf Tournament. Golfers and attendees spent the day networking and enjoying the beautiful weather while raising approximately $20,000 for scholarships and programming that will assist Georgia college students. This year’s tournament continued the record of 95 players in attendance.

Putting and chipping contests kicked off the competition, followed by a standard scramble. The day concluded with a lively 19th hole party at the clubhouse. Afterward, Educational Foundation President, Robert Fields and Educational Foundation Treasurer and Golf Committee Chair, Clay Pilgrim gave announcements and thanked sponsors. Golf Pro, Patrick LaRotonda presented prizes to the top three scoring teams, as well as the two individuals who were closest to the pin and had the longest drive. The day closed with a ball rolling contest where the winner split the pot with the Educational Foundation.

The Foundation Cup, or “tournament within the tournament,” allowed sponsors coming in at the Double Eagle, Thirst Quencher, Eagle, 19th Hole, and Birdie sponsor levels to compete for bragging rights and a trophy to display in their office. The Rushton & Company team won the Foundation Cup this year.
