Beaufort, SC --- Dataw Island is pleased to welcome the South Carolina Golf Association and the Women’s South Carolina Golf Association to the 21st Annual SCGA-WSCGA Mixed Team Championship this weekend, October 19-20.
This full-field 65-team event will take place on the island’s two golf courses: Tom Fazio’s “Cotton Dike,” and Arthur Hills’ “Morgan River.” Attendees hail from throughout the state of South Carolina and will be vying for the titles of “Mixed Team Champions” and “Senior Mixed Team Champions.” Dataw Island’s own John and Sue Zankowski will be competing in the Senior Division, and the brother/sister team of Tim and Michelle Britton, whose father, Dave Britton, serves as the Dataw Island Director of Golf, will compete in the Championship Division.
“This is a great event that we are excited to be hosting,” said Dave Britton. “We look forward to showcasing both of our courses to these teams, the majority of who are married couples.”
And, of course, we know who he will be cheering for in the Championship Division, Tim and Michelle. Both graduates of Clemson, they have played golf since they were children but as both now work full time, they play occasionally just for fun. “They basically grew up here, so it’s really fun to have them come back and play in a tournament together.”
The players will enjoy practice rounds on Friday followed by a reception in the Carolina Ballroom. Saturday, they take the field at 10:00 am on Morgan River, and at 9:30 am on Sunday, the final round will be played on Cotton Dike.
