By MARLON SCOTT | Senior Staff Writer

APSU athletics director Dave Loos showed off more than his basketball coaching skills at the Swan Lake Golf Course in the 24^th Annual Governors Golf Classic.

The event, sponsored by the Governors Club, Legends Bank and Budweiser of Clarksville, began with some socializing and dinner Thursday, August 26. Then the participants grabbed their clubs and hit the greens Friday and Saturday.

Loos was one of several APSU community members who participated in the four-person team scrambles, which began Friday, August 27, at noon and Saturday, August 28 at 8 a.m.

Some of the other faces putting to benefit APSU’s athletic department included baseball head coach Gary McClure, assistant basketball coaches Brett Campbell and Scott Combs, and political science professor David Kanervo.

It took a scorecard playoff for the team of Jimmy Bryant, Larry Schmidt, Jeff Burkhart and Bob Lewis to claim first on Friday. Shooting a -21, they just beat second place finishers Gene Whitfield, Ron Jackson, Tom Hartz and Ronny Powers

Campbell with teammates Brad Glassell, Randy Spell and Joey Tuck won Saturday’s event. They shot 22-under par, 49.

Outdone by his assistant coach, Loos and teammates George Plaster, Jake Peterson and David Shipley won a scorecard playoff by one stroke to earn second place.

The team of Amanda Phillips, Jeanette Kramer, Britney Campbell and Carla Hazelwood won first place on the women’s side. They shot a -16. The second place team of Missy Rye, Beth Goodowens, Margaret Jones and Jane Stevens shot a -12.

In addition to the scrambles, players competed individually in long drive and closest to the pin games.

Former Gov basketball player Joey Tuck won the long drive. Wayne Ard earned the closest to the pin. For the women, former Lady Govs softball player Jane Goodson took both the long drive and closest to the pin.
