Head Coach Dino Babers netted $20,000 for the Dick Tomey Legacy Fund and Positive Coaching Alliance for his performance in the 2023 Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge golf tournament.
The nation's premier collegiate coach golf event featured a field of 18 current and former college football coaches, playing in nine two-man teams, competing for a share of a $300,000 charity purse. The tournament was held today at Reynolds Lake Oconee outside Atlanta and was played over 18 holes using Stableford scoring. Pairings were determined by balancing handicaps between teams.
Babers and partner Rick Neuheisel scored 42 points on the day, which tied them for second with Dabo Swinney and Paul Johnson. The tandem of Pat Narduzzi and Chan Gailey came away with the overall win at 44 points.
It's Babers' second year playing in the event, where he has now netted $30,000 in winnings for charity.
With this year's $300,000 charity purse, the Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge has now contributed a total of $9.3 million in scholarship and charity since 2007, helping make Peach Bowl, Inc. college football's most charitable bowl organization. Proceeds from the event benefit charitable foundations selected by the coaches.
