For the second straight year, the Country Club of Brewton welcomed PGA golfer Boo Weekley and comedian Larry the Cable Guy.
Weekley, a resident of Jay, Fla. and a member of the Country Club of Brewton, was in Brewton this past weekend for his ninth annual Boo Weekly Camp Compass Scramble that was held Friday, Saturday and Sunday (July 21-24) at the County Club of Brewton.
Camp Compass is based out of Allentown, Pa., and helps inner city kids. The group promotes outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, etc. The money raised from the tournament helps pay for the expenses that come along with that.
Weekley’s tournament is held at the Country Club of Brewton because Boo considers the course his home course and is where he often plays and practices.
On Friday night before the tournament was to begin on Saturday, a live and silent auction was held to help raise money for Camp Compass.
In the past years, Weekley’s tournament has generated more than $250,000 for Camp Compass and other local charities.
A total of nine flights played in the tournament with 103 teams of two golfers for a total of 206 total golfers.
