        A week ago today, I was watching a Sunday morning program and a segment caught my eye.

The University of South Carolina Lancers split four games in the Region X baseball tournament in Burlington, N.C. The tournament began last weekend and was completed earlier this week.

Great weather conditions and close competition made for a special day for the Matt Blackwell Foundation last Saturday afternoon. The field included 23 four-player teams who participated in the 11th annual captain’s choice golf tournament held at the Lancaster Golf Club.

The winning foursome teamed for a 51, which forced a card playoff and an eagle on the third playoff hole, No. 5, gave it the win. “It was all a team effort,” said Greg Gates of the winning team sponsored by McKittrick Timber. “We all made some key putts and we all had some key drives.”
