OUR 2008 EVENT/PRESENTING SPONSOR SUNVALLEY MALL

Our 2008 golf classic offered golf packages for individual golfers as well for complete foursomes. Each golfer received green fees and a cart, a BBQ lunch, prizes and awards, a buffet dinner, free use of the driving range and a tee package and a bag with assorted gifts.

The format for the 108 golfers was a four-person scramble/handicap and was played on one of the most beautiful courses in the county. Special activities included two putting contests, longest drive, most accurate drive, closest to hole, splash pond, & hole in one. Sponsorship opportunities ranged from $300 to $2,500 categories.
