On Monday, May 7, Millsaps College will hold the 10th Annual Mary Ann Edge Memorial Golf Tournament at Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Miss. The tournament is honor of the late Millsaps golf coach and assistant professor, Mary Ann Edge, and will benefit the Millsaps athletics program.
Edge, a native of Amory, was a pioneer in golfing circles in Mississippi and throughout the region. Some of her many accomplishments include being named the City of Jackson Women’s Champion 13 times, State Senior Women’s Champion once, State Amateur Runner-Up five times, Low Amateur in LPGA events twice and Shady Oaks Club Champion 20 times. In the meantime, she coached the Millsaps Majors men’s golf team for 28 years, and in 1993, the year she retired, she coached the Majors to the Southeastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship. In the state and throughout the region, Edge was known for her tireless devotion to the game, coordinating the Junior Girls Golf Circuit in the 1970s and hosting golf clinics for men, women and children to promote the game.
Designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1981, Annandale Golf Club is ranked one of the top 10 golf courses in Mississippi by “Golf Digest Magazine” and has been host to the PGA Tour's Southern Farm Bureau Classic the past seven years.
