HARDEEVILLE, S.C. – Tradition National Golf Club hosted the first J. Lindeberg-USCB Sand Sharks Classic golf tournament here Nov. 8-9.

The USCB Sand Sharks men’s team won out over a strong competitive field of college teams, including Savannah College of Art and Design, Berry College, Webber International University, and Edward Waters College.

The USCB women golfers came in second among competitors from Northwood College, Spartanburg Methodist College, SCAD, Berry and Webber International.

“It wasn’t a huge field, but it was a very, very competitive one,” said USCB Coach Shane LeBaron. “Several teams, including Berry and SCAD, are in the top 20. I’m very proud of how well our guys did on their home course.”

Tradition National Golf Club is USCB’s golf team home course. “We are thrilled that Tradition National is hosting our team,” LeBaron said. “It’s a world-class course with wonderful practice facilities and a neat par-3. We are able to practice at Tradition a couple of days a week, and it’s just down the road from our campus.”

Even though it rained a bit early Saturday, “the course was in excellent condition,” he said. “The greens were absolutely perfect.”

David Wilding, director of golf at Tradition National, commented that Tradition Hilton Head and Tradition National Golf Club were honored to host the first-ever USCB Sand Sharks Classic tournament and look forward to the continued growth of the event.

“We are pleased to have USCB playing Tradition National as its home course, and we congratulate their fine golfers on this weekend’s big win,” he said. “We look forward to future USCB events and golf tournaments.”
