The sport of golf was the main attraction, but there were activities that students, coaches, and anyone in attendance could have benefited from.
Among the
athletes, coaches, and corporate representatives, there were opportunities to network throughout the three-day event. One of the featured events was the HBCU Alumni and Divine Nine Challenge. College alums, members of Black sororities and fraternities, as well as athletes and entertainment celebrities, were able to participate in golf and social events. Student-athletes were given a chance to attend a career session there, along with off-course opportunities.On Saturday, Arcis Golf, which hosted the tournament, held a “Club-in-Hand Golf Clinic” for people from the Rita &
Rick Case Boys & Girls Club of Broward County who were golfing for the first time. At this session, people were taught the fundamentals of driving, chipping, and putting by three PGA professionals from the South Florida PGA Section.RELATED CONTENT: Eastside Golf Apparel Brand Hosts ‘Community Days’ To Get More Black People Teeing Up
