This is not just a tournament, it is an opportunity to make memories, business deals, and friends, all while on the golf course. It gives our members, staff and volunteers an excuse to enjoy the outdoors and get active. Even after almost 30 years, we continue to meet someone new each time and those returning have scores that will decrease, which is a good thing. 

Coordinating a golf tournament takes everyone in town. Volunteers and businesses come together to make the day a success and fun for everyone involved. Over fifty local businesses participate in supporting the golf tournament and we want to extend our gratitude to each one. Thank you for supporting this event and our community; and thank you to all who sign up to play and take part in the golf activities. 

Even if you do not golf, there are many opportunities to participate in the tournament. You can watch a hole, support the golfers, organize goodie cups, assist with each set-up, registration, breakfast and lunch, be a hole-in-one-spotter, or help with clean up. If you would like to come out and enjoy a day of fun volunteering at the tournament, please contact Natalie Babson at babsonn@fnb-corp.com. Volunteers are needed throughout the day from 6:30am to 5:30pm. We have shifts for everyone, whether that is a couple of hours, half a day, or all day. 

The Kernersville Chamber gives back to our community with the tournament through Spring Folly, Recycle Day, Healthy Living and Business Expo, Women in Business, networking events, and so much more. 

Everyone loves support. If you would like to support the players, feel free to come out and cheer for the golfers. The tournament will take place at our local community golf course, Pine Knolls Golf Club. It is a beautiful course in a great golfing community.
