The green at Dogwood Trace Golf Course in Petersburg will be more than just a place to tee off May 15 — it will be a space to honor the legacy of retired Col. Porcher L. Taylor Jr. and support several critical community initiatives. The Colonel Porcher L. Taylor Jr. Legacy Golf Classic, hosted by the Petersburg Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, is an annual event that brings together golfers, sponsors and community leaders for a day of charity and camaraderie.

The tournament, which celebrates the life of Col. Taylor, a distinguished military officer, educator and community advocate, aims to raise funds for a variety of initiatives.

These include the Downtown Churches United P.T. Taylor Walk Against Hunger, which provides essential food assistance to underserved communities, scholarships to help high school and college students pursue higher education and the Guide Right Program – Kappa League, a mentorship program focused on leadership development and career readiness for young men.

“We are excited to bring together golfers, sponsors and community leaders to celebrate the enduring legacy of Col. Taylor,” said Scott Johnson, tournament chairman. “This tournament is about more than just the sport—it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.”

The event will take place at Dogwood Trace Golf Course, 3108 Homestead Drive, Petersburg. Registration is $125 per golfer, which includes green fees, cart, prizes and meals. The deadline to register is May 1. For more information visit ptgolfclassic.com.
