BROWARD COLLEGE GOLF CLASSIC

The sold out 33rd Broward College Golf Classic at the Fort Lauderdale Country Club on April 12 raised nearly $94,000 in support of the Empowerment Fund at Broward College. Lloyd Rhodes, Golf Chair and Broward College Foundation board member, and his committee of volunteers, put together a spectacular tournament. The committee and players followed safety precautions while enjoying a day on the newly renovated North Course.
