The 23rd Annual Golf Outing is organized each year by the Brown County Chamber of Commerce as a fundraiser and this year’s event is being sponsored by Rumpke.
It is scheduled for Friday June 19 beginning with an 8 a.m. registration and a 9 a.m. shotgun start.
The golf outing will take place at Friendly Meadows Golf Course, located at 809 St. Rt. 125 in Hamersville.
“This year’s outing is coming up fast, and in years past, we’ve had more than 36 teams take part in this event,” said Dannielle Williams, office manager for the Brown County Chamber of Commerce, “Last year we had less than that, but we’re hoping to have at least a 36 team sellout this year which will ensure the cash prize payouts.”
This year the case prizes include $1,000 for first place, $500 for second place and $300 for third place provided there are 36 teams participating.
The event will also include a ‘Hole-in-One” contest, many raffle prizes and a great lunch provided by Big E “Lunch by Big E BBQ is reason enough for people to come out and be part of this golf outing,” Williams said with a chuckle. “The whole day is filled with fun things to do. We want to invite everyone out to this great event.”
For more information Williams can be reached at (937) 378-4784.
