39th Anniversary Clifford Bullard Memorial Golf Tournament to be held this week

Golfers in Robeson County are getting their golf clubs ready for the 39th Anniversary Clifford Bullard Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament, which raises money for the RCC Foundation to support student success and the mission of Robeson Community College, will be held October 5, at Pinecrest Golf Course in Lumberton. It will feature two shotgun starts, one at 8:30am and the other at 1:30pm. The event is projected to be one of the largest golf tournaments in Robeson County.

The tournament touts “amazing gifts and raffle prizes,” a catered lunch, 50/50 board, and a $5000 putting challenge, and will serve as a special tribute to Clif Bullard, Jr, who passed away this year. 

“Robeson Community College meant a lot to Mr. Bullard; he believed in education and was a philanthropic giant who supported our students. We want to make sure his legacy lives on,” stated Heather Seibles, the interim executive director of advancement at RCC. “He was a tireless fundraiser for the tournament and loved seeing it grow year after year.”

“Our golf tournament is like a homecoming for many,” RCC President Melissa Singler stated. “It’s a lot of fun and a great way to spend the day raising money to help students at Robeson Community College… we thank all of our sponsors who have generously given in the past, and all that have already partnered with us this year in honor and memory of Clif Bullard, and we continue to thank the Bullard Family for their unwavering support of the tournament, Robeson Community College, and the RCC Foundation.”
