NATCHEZ — The Copiah Lincoln Community College Foundation is set to host the 14th annual Natchez Golf Classic at Beau Pré Thursday.

The max 24-team, four-person scramble will have a shot gun tee off at 1 p.m., and all tournament benefits will endow student and faculty development scholarships at the Co-Lin’s Natchez campus.

“We expect a great turnout,” director of public information Nancy McFarland said. “We have 20 teams registered so far, so only four spots remain open.”
