FSU Turns to Capel for Classic

Fayetteville State University announced Tuesday the inaugural Felton J. Capel Sr. Celebrity Golf Classic, to be held Aug. 3-5 at Whispering Pines. Capel was joined by several FSU officials and other dignitaries at a press conference held at the County Club of Whispering Pines, where the event will take place.

Officials hope the tournament will become an annual event that will help raise money for student scholarships to FSU. CCWP was chosen as the location for the event because it accommodates 250 golfers at a time -- double the capacity of an average course. The club boasts two 18-hole courses.

Organizers have a goal of raising at least $50,000 in the first event, but they believe the event is limited only by the support it can generate.
