HAMPTON, Ga. – Clayton State Athletics kicked things off right as nearly 100 individuals took part in the 2019 Laker Golf Classic in support of more than 140 Laker student-athletes at Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club in Hampton, Georgia on Monday, August 26.
 
All proceeds of the event benefit the ongoing educational pursuits of current and former Clayton State student-athletes, particularly those within reach of completing their degrees.
 
A traditional best ball scramble, the Classic featured a host of dedicated community partners. A number of those were organizations or individuals that have supported the Lakers in previous Classics and played today.
 
The day also featured a number of special events and prize opportunities, including Hole-in-One and long drive contests. Heritage Cadillac provided a brand new vehicle on the line for anyone that could ace the hole it was on.
 
Teams took to the course in a shotgun start around 9:30 a.m., following breakfast sponsored and provided by Bojangles. Among the day's highlights was a dinner sponsored by Rocky's Café and Pizza followed by the awards ceremony at the close of day. The latter also featured a raffle for various prizes that included signed memorabilia from Atlanta sports teams as well as other articles.
 
Overall, the Rocky's sponsored team of Paul Cappozzoli, Randy Sizemore, Ron Melin and Todd Lassiter took home first place honors. Each received a prize package for their performances.
 
The Laker Golf Classic will return to the Crystal Lake family of courses for 2020. Stay tuned to www.ClaytonStateSports.com for announcement of the date of next year's Classic.
