Toccoa Stephens County and Franklin County Chambers Compete in the NGCU Chamber Challenge Golf Tournament

New this year, the challenge is on to see which Chamber has the best golfers! Business leaders in the Toccoa-Stephens County and Franklin County Chambers have signed on to compete in the first ever golf tournament between the Chambers.

The presenting sponsor is North Georgia Credit Union. The tournament will take place on Wednesday, May 25th at 11am at the Highland Walk Golf Course at Victoria Bryant State Park in Royston. Each Chamber will have 15 teams who will compete for the lowest score to win the Challenge Cup.

It is a great opportunity for two Chamber Communities to come together for a fun and profitable day of golf and networking. Enter a team and entertain customers, associates, and friends.

If you don’t play you can sponsor a hole sign on the course - and expand your advertising reach across the County line. Cart sponsorships allow you to interact with golfers on the course. Other marketing opportunities include donating items for the Hospitality Bags and door prizes!

Golf fees are affordable and prizes are plentiful. There are prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and last place teams; there are 2 hole in one cars thanks to Ford Lincoln of Toccoa and Tri County Chervolet; prizes for the Accuracy Drive, Closest-to-the-Pin and the Putting Contest Winner will split the “fee pot” with both Chambers.

New this year, ALL Chamber members can participate. You are invited to come network before the tournament start and to watch the “Golf Balls From Heaven” Ball Drop. Buy your golf ball now for only $5 each or three for $12. Before the tournament, Georgia Power will drop a bucket full of numbered balls onto the target area and the closest ball to the hole wins the grand prize of cash. There will be additional chances to win other prizes. Only 500 balls sold and winner splits the pot with the Chambers.
