Virginia Union University hosted its third annual E. Lee Coble Golf Tournament on Monday at Lakeside Park Club, with 17 foursomes competing in men’s and women’s divisions.

The tournament, named for VUU head golf coach E. Lee Coble, featured a four-person scramble format on the Donald Ross-designed course. The layout, measuring 6,200 yards at par 71, challenged competitors with its tree-lined fairways. 

Ronald Dingle, Roland Haley, Leroy Mason and Derrick Vance claimed first place in the men’s division with a 15-under-par 56. Ron Kelly Jr., Ron Kelly, Steve Brown and Willie Cosby finished second with an identical score. 

LaRue Suggs, Donald Coleman, Alvin Hunter and Mike Lech took third at 14-under 57. 

In the women’s division, Mary Allen, Kelly Brown, Marilyn Coles and Cheryl Harrison won with a 7-under 64. Deborah Hillman, Carolyn Bently, Angela Bently and Ursula Edmonds placed second at 4-over 75. 

Kelly Brown swept the women’s proximity awards, winning both closest to the pin and long drive. Steve Brown took closest to the pin honors for the men, while Joseph Boone won the men’s long drive. Barry Griffin captured the putting contest with an 8-inch putt. 

“This was the third E. Lee Coble Tournament with great support from our golfing community,” Coble said.
