NC SPORTS CON
Wendell CUp Golf Tournament
As part of the lead-up to our exciting NC sports Con, we invite you to join us for our premier Golf Tournament at Wendell Country Club. This event promises not just a day of competition but a celebration of community and the enduring spirit of sports.
Sunday April 27th 2025
NC Sports Con is excited to announce a premiere charity event to support the needs of Lake Myra Elementary School. This will be a fun, spirited, sporty competition between the best golfers in Wendell Falls and Wendell proper!
Bring on the bragging rights, while supporting our lovely community.
The match play tournament will host the 56 best golfers of Wendell Falls and the 56 best golfers of Wendell Proper. Carl Welch will be serving as the Wendell Falls captain and has been the golf chairman of Wendell Falls tournament, aptly named the Carl Welch classic for several years. He has enthusiastically brought multiple 9- and 18-hole tournaments to the Wendell Country Club.
Borrowing from the Carl Welch classic, the challenge will include 2 components. The team with the lowest score will win the championship belt and the team that raises the most money will win the Wendell cup. The Belt and the Wendell cup will be proudly displayed at the sponsor location of the winning team. We also have a special format that allows a public walk up component: each team finishes on 18 so the gallery with a DJ and beverages can overlook each finish for the drama!
Additionally, we will be adding items influenced by the former director of the Chamber of Commerce, Shelley Rozanski Lesniewicz. Shelley is bringing several unique ideas to the tournament to raise money for the kids such as, different types of contests on holes. All the proceeds from those events will go to Lake Myra Elementary School.
This will be an annual event and both the belt, and the Wendell cup will be displayed at the winning team’s sponsorship location in either Wendell Falls or Wendell Proper. We are beyond excited to bring this great event to Wendell and a great way to use fun competition, fitness and rivalry of Wendell Falls and Wendell Proper to benefit the kids.
Come to compete, collect unforgettable memories, and cheer for your peers!
All proceeds from the event will go to Lake Myra Elementary School.
