……..
What a fantastic day it was for the 12th Annual International Scramble held on Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 at sunny Crystal Springs Golf Course. A little on the warm side but sunny blue skies and a gentle breeze made the conditions perfect and a fun day was had by all.
Hosted by the Australian American Chamber of Commerce and the British American Business Council, we were thrilled to partner with 9 other international chambers of commerce who promoted it to their members. This made for a truly international field of 72 Golfers. We would like to extend our thanks to these chambers for contributing towards a successful day for all.
The scramble / best ball format created a relaxed and fun tournament and of course there were pre-tournament and on-course competitions to add some extra excitement including the chance to win $20,000 with a Hole in One, as well as other Hole in One prizes. Our thanks to Onmia Technologies for being our Hole in One Sponsor!
