AC Flora edges Trinity Collegiate golf in the ABB Invitational in Florence

FLORENCE (WBTW) – The AC Flora boys golf team edged Trinity Collegiate in a 2-hole playoff on Tuesday in the final round of the Anderson Brothers Bank Invitational from the Florence Country Club. An incorrect score on a Trinity Collegiate scorecard prompted a change in the total score, thus forcing a playoff. The 36-hole event was played on Monday at the Darlington Country Club, then Tuesday in Florence.

The tournament was originally created as a 36-hole stroke play competition for high school golf teams in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina. It has been held every spring since 2000 and has become a popular event, now open to both public and private school golf teams from all over South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

The tournament has gained more recognition and prestige over the years thanks to ongoing promotion efforts. In 2004, it was officially accepted into the South Carolina Junior Golf Association’s tournament list for individual state rankings. In 2008, tournament officials expanded the field to include teams from neighboring states, increasing the competition’s diversity and competitiveness.
