Bay Area Chamber of Commerce 24th Annual Golf Outing

Golfers Beat The Heat And The Rain

July 27, 2008
By: MyBayCity Staff



The 24th annual Bay Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing was a scramble to not only take home one of the many donated prizes, but to stay dry from threatening storms overhead throughout the day. With the help of Mother Nature however, the rain held off until the very end of the outing!

The day kicked off with a continental breakfast and a shotgun start! Many different contests were held throughout the outing from longest drive to closest to the pin. The outing was wrapped up at the club house with a social hour and Hors D'oeuvres followed by an awards presentation!
