CORNWALL, Ontario – Golfers from across the region will tee it up for the Team Cornwall, Mayor aCouncil Golf Fun Day on Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017.

The day starts at 9 a.m. with breakfast and then a shotgun start at 10 a.m.

In the afternoon, cap off the day with dinner, networking and prizes. Also, be sure to include someone from out of town in your foursome to introduce them to and to help promote Cornwall.

The tournament attracts over 150 golfers each year to a day filled with sport, fun and networking, and offers an excellent opportunity for local business people to showcase Cornwall. The tournament will be held at Summerheights Golf Links.

“This tournament is one our members look forward to every year,” said Peter Gault, Chair of Team Cornwall. “It is a great opportunity for community leaders to network and show their out of town guests that Cornwall is a great place to live – and play.”

“We are fortunate to have such a beautiful facility such as Summerheights Golf Links in Cornwall,” said Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. “The tournament is an excellent example of what can happen when local organizations get together for the common good of the community.”

Still time to register Registration fees are $125 per golfer, which includes breakfast, 18 holes, cart, lunch and a buffet meal. Registration is available online on the Team Cornwall website.

“Each year we host several people from out of town to showcase our community,” says Gault. “These visitors return back to their home communities with a positive experience about what Cornwall has to offer.”

Team Cornwall is a unique organization that exists to spread the word about Cornwall’s positive attributes as a city in which to live and do business. Team Members use their own networks to deliver timely information about the community and its growing development opportunities, and in doing so, act as ambassadors for the City’s economic development effort.

The proceeds of the tournament will go towards offsetting the costs of Team Cornwall’s ambassadorial efforts. The not-for-profit organization hosts a number of events throughout the year and maintains a popular website. In addition, Team Members travel the world to promote Cornwall, at their own cost.
