Women’s Golf to Host Third EAT A PEACH Collegiate

MACON, GA – On Sept. 18-20, the Mercer women’s golf team will host the third annual EAT A PEACH Collegiate women's golf tournament in Macon, Georgia. The 36-hole, two day event begins with Saturday’s practice round at Oak View Golf Course and Country Club.

The 2010 EAT A PEACH Collegiate is open to any university or college that is located in the State of Georgia and was designed in an effort to provide a venue where all the Georgia collegiate women’s golf teams may come together to showcase their team.

“Most people, especially parents, are not aware of the many collegiate women’s golf programs that are in Georgia”, said Mercer head coach Gary Guyer. “The financial opportunities available from these schools are amazing and many of the scholarship dollars go unused. We hope that by hosting this tournament many of the young girls from Georgia will get excited about a career in golf; at least to the point where it will pay for college.”

Oakview GC offers 18 holes of spectacular golf and is located on Hartley Bridge Road. Designed by Barry Edgar, Oakview Golf and Country Club was established in 1996 and has been one of the top semi-private golf courses in Middle Georgia since its opening. Dubbed “Mercer National” by the Bears, the course will play to 5,930 yards and a par of 72.
