Holliday’s 9th Annual Golf Classic

Johnny Holliday

The ninth annual Johnny Holliday Scholarship Golf Classic was held on June 16 at the Bretton Woods Golf Course in Germantown, Maryland. Holliday, the longtime voice of University of Maryland football and men’s basketball and co-host of Nats Xtra on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, partnered with the Youth Leadership Foundation, which held the first scholarship classic in 2006.

In 2011, Holliday started the Community Champion Award, which is presented annually at his event in recognition of a local community leader “who exemplifies a spirit of service, commitment to the local community and devotion to the betterment of society.” This year, the award went to Leon Harris, lead news anchor for Channel 7/WJLA.
