Hall of Fame
Spencer Sappington served as the captain of the Lincoln men’s golf team from 1965-67 and was the individual champion of three tournaments during that span. Sappington led Lincoln to a fifth-place team finish at the 1965 NCAA Division II championship while individually tying as the national runner-up, earning All-American status in the process. Sappington’s play was so highly regarded that he was also invited to play as an individual in the NCAA Division I championship tournament.
After graduation, Sappington continued to play golf in the Georgia area, winning 13 Georgia State Golf Association Championships. That includes three-straight Georgia Senior Championships from 2003-05 as well as another in 2007, making him the first four-time champion in the history of the tournament.
Sappington additionally qualified for 19 United States Golf Association tournaments and won the Georgia PGA Senior Open in 1994.
