Swinging Success at Networking on the Greens Annual Golf Tournament

Golf enthusiasts and businesses alike gathered for an incredible day on the greens at the 13th Annual Chamber Golf Tournament, held on Friday, August 11, 2023 at Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club. With warm weather and gorgeous greens, the stage was set for a remarkable event that combined a passion for golf with a commitment to making a positive impact on our community.

The tournament was not just about teeing off and sinking putts; it was a powerful demonstration of the commitment of our members to supporting the Chambers and its community causes. Participants and sponsors witnessed exceptional sportsmanship, competitive spirit, and lots of fun along the way.

After a day filled with remarkable shots and strategic play, golfers gathered on the exquisitely appointed patio for a summer cookout, cold beverages, and camraderie. We’re thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s tournament:
