Northern Essex Community College is accepting registrations for its Third Annual Golf Tournament to benefit the 12 varsity athletic programs. It will be held August 31, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. at Renaissance Golf Club on 377 Kenoza St., Haverhill.

This event is open to the public. Registrations placed before July 31 are $175 per person. After that, registration is $200 per person. There are $100 sponsorships available for purchase. Registration includes green fees, 18 holes of golf with cart, lunch, an awards dinner, a golf gift bag, and an Under Armour gift.

This four-player scramble, best ball tournament includes breakfast. Registration and breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. with a shotgun start and scramble at 9 a.m. The awards luncheon and silent auction begins at 2 p.m.

Last year’s tournament raised more than $16,000 with over 100 golfers of all ages participating. There were 25 teams and 43 sponsors.
Proceeds benefit the NECC Athletic Program, which recently reintroduced its intercollegiate golf program for both men and women. The last time NECC had a golf program was 20 years ago.

For the 2019-20 academic year NECC saw the return of both the men’s soccer and women’s basketball programs, along with a new Esport program, which won two national awards this spring. Other spring sports were sidelined by the Covid-19 pandemic. Proceeds from the golf tournament will be used for athletic facility improvements, continued sports expansion, and for students athletics support programs to help them reach their academic and athletic goals.

Numerous options for sponsorship and registration are available here.

NECC competes as a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and sponsors eight varsity intercollegiate sports including baseball, men’s basketball, softball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country and men’s and women’s track and field.
