If you have played in a few golf tournaments, then by now you probably know what to expect: Foursomes of people who already know each other enjoying a day out of the office.Â
If youâre lucky then you play on one of the foursomes that always win. But even if you donât win the tournament you have to admit that a bad day on the course is better than a good day at your desk, right?
On September 19 the Prince William Chamber of Commerce introduces the inaugural Chamber Classic: 18 Holes of Opportunity at Old Hickory Golf Club (11921 Chanceford Drive; Woodbridge, VA 22192). This 18-hole golf tournament puts a unique spin on the typical community golf tournament by mixing up the teams in a four-person scramble to maximize the potential benefits to your bottom line.
Says Prince William Chamber Chairman C.C. Bartholomew, a local realtor and golf enthusiast, âThe Chamber Classic provides an exciting business networking opportunity. By mixing up the foursomes, we are encouraging players to forge new business relationships while enjoying a day on the course. The hope is that local business leaders, young professionals, and entrepreneurs will come together to play a round of golf and leave with connections that will empower them to grow or improve their businesses in some way.â
Interested participants are encouraged to register up to four players with the understanding that a max of two of those âteammatesâ will end up playing together. Several participating companies have already registered three or four singles for maximum networking impact.
Information about the tournament, along with registration, is available online at PWchamber.org or by calling the Prince William Chamber of Commerce at 703-368-6600. Entry to the Chamber Classic is $150 per player. The deadline to register is Friday, September 9. Download registration packet here.
Prizes include a Sandals vacation for two, Visa Gift Cards ranging from $25-$100 and a set of Calloway irons.
The Chamber Classic is sponsored by Heltzel Mortgage; C.C. Bartholomew, Keller Williams Solutions; Kensington Vanguard; East to West Embroidery & Design; Elite Golf; R.W. Murray Company; APT Impact, Inc. and Sandra Dugan of Cruise Planners.
