It was a great opportunity for two Chamber Communities to come together for a fun and profitable day of golf and networking. They entertained customers, associates, and friends.
For those who do not play, they sponsored a hole sign on the course, and expanded their advertising reach across the County line. Other marketing opportunities included cart sponsorships, donating items for the Hospitality Bags and door prizes!
New this year, ALL Chamber members could participate. They were invited to network before the tournament start and to watch the “Golf Balls From Heaven” Ball Drop. Before the tournament, Georgia Power dropped a bucket full of numbered balls onto the target area and the closest ball to the hole won 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.
