The 15th Annual DFNC Golf Tournament was held at Carolina’s premier Finley Golf Course on Friday, May 11. The beautiful spring day boasted the largest attendance ever at the DFNC’s tournament with 127 golfers vying for top prize. With proceeds benefitting dental students at UNC, six School of Dentistry faculty, one staff member and seven students participated. The tournament had 26 paid sponsors and netted approximately $20,000 in scholarship funding for dental students. Among the tournament’s many highlights was the first-ever hole-in-one, made by Mr. Kell Norman of Sanford. Kell had his choice of prizes from U.S. Hole-In-One, including a flat-screen TV or tickets for two to anywhere in the continental United States.
