Business & Golf: The Right Approach Can Put You on the LeaderBoard!

The Walton Area Chamber Golf Classic is designed for business owners and business professionals who want to use the game of golf to build their businesses. The Walton Area Chamber invites you to build your business by participating in the Walton Area Chamber Golf Classic on Monday, April 27, 2009 at the Tom Fazio-designed Camp Creek Golf Club.

The Classic will include a pairings party on Sunday evening, April 26 where you can mingle with celebrities and friends from the sports and entertainment world. You will have an opportunity to bid on various celebrities to play with your team on Monday. Celebrities that played in the tournament last year were honorary chair, Mark Lemke (former Atlanta Braves second baseman), as well as Barry Lyons, Bill Mazeroski, Greg Litton, Greg McMichael, Jackie Burkett, Juan Bonilla, Mackey Sasser, Mike Kolen, Phil Hiatt, Wimp Sanderson, Brad Clontz, Bryan Powell, John Rocker, Willie Richardson, Zeke Bratkowsk and many others.

The tournament is a scramble format, with two shotgun starts at 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. There will be a continental breakfast, lunch and dinner that will be provided by local restaurant vendors that will be scattered throughout the course.

Prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third-place teams, as well as individual awards for the golfer who is closest to the pin. The first player to sink a hole-in-one on the designated hole will win a new Club Car, golf cart.

In addition to individual entry fees, there are multiple levels of sponsorship available for different areas of the tournament and teams wishing to participate. The event will be full of great golf with sports pros, spectacular prizes, a fabulous Pairings Party and a silent auction.
