OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University has scheduled the 19th annual Abe Lemons Golf Classic at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 24 at Lincoln Park Golf Course.

The Abe Lemons Golf Classic benefits the Abe Lemons endowed scholarship and the Stars' championship endeavors.

Oklahoma City owns 70 national championships in all sports as well as Directors' Cup titles in 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. OCU has won at least one national title for 28 years running. The Stars also thrive in the classroom after putting together their best combined grade-point average of the past decade (3.332) in 2020-21. 

Lincoln Park, Oklahoma City's oldest public golf course, unveiled its new state-of-the-art $9.25 million clubhouse in spring 2015. A great partner to OCU athletics, Lincoln played host to the 2019 NAIA Women's Golf Championships. Lincoln Park will once again serve as the host course for the NAIA Championships on May 24-27, 2022.
