2022 Winning Team

Format: Four members will be paired up with one of our Golf Professionals for a fun round of golf and lunch afterward. Each group will play a 2 net best ball of 5, as we enjoy the opening tournament of the 2023 season.

Our first tournament of the year begins with a fun time playing with our staff of golf professionals. Each group of members will get paired with one of our golf professionals for that round and help win you some early season money. This morning shotgun will be followed by a lunch where we all can come together and try to understand why we all enjoy this fun and challenging game.

This is probably no surprise, but this is our golf staff’s favorite event to run (and play). Hopefully we can all shake some winter rust off our golf game and make a few birdies for the group! Groups will be randomly paired with a golf professional, but feel free to sign up as a single or group of up to 4 members.
