Golf Classic tees up for fun, sun on the links – Beach Boys style
Time for some California Dreamin’ and a great day of networking and fun on the golf course! It’s the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce 37th Annual Golf Classic.

This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, July 20 at The Majestic at Lake Walden in Hartland. The theme celebrates the Beach Boys and an Endless Summer, with a relaxed, beach atmosphere designed for a full day of fun, fun, fun (‘til someone takes our golf carts away) on the links.

“Our committee is working hard to plan an outstanding event and a great day on the greens. This year’s outing promises to be entertaining for golfers, Beach Boys’ fans, surf lovers and all. Bring your tropical shirts, beach gear and California cool attitudes,” said Janine McEvoy of Air Temp Mechanical, LLC and head of the Golf Classic committee. “We know chamber members and their guests have many outings like this to choose from, so we’re putting the focus on making the Howell chamber outing the best one yet. Our motto is, if you can only make it to one golf outing this year, this is the one to attend.”

An “All-inclusive Endless Summer Golf Package” includes an array of contests, raffles, prizes and awards along with 18 holes of golf in a scramble format. Also included will be a continental breakfast, Kokomo Lunch-To-Go and refreshments at Good Vibrations Beverage Huts on the course. Complimentary water, soft drinks and beer will be included. Surfin’ Safari Specialty Stations will provide a complimentary array of products and services to enhance the golfers’ outing experience. The event will end with a “Surfin’ USA Dinner” at Waldenwoods Banquet Center and an awards program.

Several contests will also be a featured part of this year’s outing, including a Surf’s Up! Skins Contest, the popular Surfer Dude Putting Contest and the annual Summer Club Cover Contest, with premium prizes.

“The Golf Classic is a great opportunity to enjoy outstanding golf,” said Pat Convery, chamber president. “And it’s also a wonderful time to do some business networking and entertain clients. We’re ready to customize sponsorship opportunities as well – just give us a call.”

Invitations will be mailed to chamber members in May. A brochure complete with details regarding the event schedule and a variety of sponsorship opportunities, featuring some sponsorships new for this year, will be included.

The chamber is also seeking items for the golfers’ goodie bags such as apparel, golf accessories or packaged goods and sundries, and door prize donations. Items may be dropped off at the chamber building or can be arranged for pick up. Members interested in sponsorship or goodie bag and door prize donation opportunities may contact the chamber for additional details.

The cost to participate in this year’s outing is an outstanding value at $140, which includes $5 in 50-50 tickets, special contests including putting and chipping, refreshments, lunch, dinner and more.
