The 19th Annual Capstone Engineering Society Golf Tournament was held Sept. 16, 2019, at Old Overton Country Club in Vestavia Hills, Alabama.
Thanks to generous contributions from sponsors and teams, more than $53,000 was raised for the Capstone Engineering Society Scholarship Fund. Since 2001, the CES Golf Tournament has raised more than $653,000.
“It’s always a good day when you get to have a little fun on the course while supporting engineering student scholarships,” said Liz Moore, CES manager. “Over 160 students have benefitted from the fund. The impact in the lives of our students in invaluable.”
A total of 132 players on 33 teams participated in this year’s tournament, and 40 sponsors covered the meal, drinks, putting contest, each hole and three tournament levels to make the event a success.
Gaston Large was the tournament chair, and Harry Gabriel served as co-chair. Members of the CES golf committee were Suzanne Chapman, Milton Davis, Greg Floyd, Tony McLain, Rick Nail, Rod Northam, Chris Palmer, Valerie Wade and David Williams.
