With 27 teams taking part in Cowley College’s 14th annual Tiger Skins/Brian Groves Memorial Golf Tournament Saturday at the Arkansas City Country Club, the event was once again a huge success.

Tom Saia, director of athletics at Cowley, was pleased with the amount of money raised for Tiger Booster Club scholarships.

“I want to thank the people that participated and helped work the Tiger Skins/Brian Groves Memorial Golf Tournament,” Saia said. “A number of people contributed to make this a successful event. It’s a great way to kick off the school year.”
