(MERIDIAN) – Five Meridian Community College golf team members experienced the thrill of a lifetime when they teed it up in the 2007 Adams Pro Series Tour Community Bank Golf Classic this week at historic Northwood County Club in Meridian, MS.

The Adams Golf Pro Tour Series, the so-called 'Triple A' of professional golf, is a developmental series on par with the Hooters Tour and a step below the Nationwide Tour, which the PGA Tour owns.

There are about 50 alums of the Adams Golf tour who are currently on the PGA Tour and another 75 alums that are on the Nationwide Tour.

The Adams Tour plays 12 tournaments a year, mostly in small to medium sized towns such as Texarkana, Texas, Houma, La. and Gulfport.

The top 33 scores plus ties will advance to play in the final two rounds on Friday and Saturday.

MCC’s next official college tournament will be on October 22-23 in Destin, FL at the Indian Bayou Colligate Classic.
