Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College will host the annual Clem Dellenger Memorial Golf Tournament on Friday, October 30, at Sunkist Country Club in Biloxi. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit MGCCC student-athletes.

Hosted by the MGCCC Bulldog Club, the annual two-person scramble raises funds to support MGCCC student-athletes and athletic programs. The tournament begins with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.

Registration is $125 per player or $250 per team and is open to two-person teams and individual players.

The annual tournament brings together alumni, friends and supporters of MGCCC for a day of golf while raising funds to support student-athletes and the college’s athletic programs.

A Biloxi native and longtime Gulf Coast resident, Dellenger graduated from Notre Dame High School in Biloxi and Tulane University, where he lettered in football and baseball. He coached for 25 years at MGCCC as a member of Coach George Sekul’s staff and helped contribute to the Bulldogs winning eight state football championships and two national football championships (1971 and 1984). Dellenger later served as assistant principal at St. John High School in Gulfport from 1992 to 2000. He died September 16, 2007, and was posthumously inducted into the MGCCC Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.

This year’s event features an expanded lineup of sponsorship opportunities, giving businesses and individuals more ways than ever to support Bulldog athletics while gaining visibility throughout the tournament.

Sunkist Country Club is located at 2381 Sunkist Country Club Road in Biloxi.
