Blog: GGCC Holds 30th Annual Business Golf Classic

The Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce (GGCC) held its 30th Annual Business Golf Classic at Worthington Manor Golf Club, 8329 Fingerboard Road, Urbana, Maryland on Friday, Sept. 11, 2020. Tournament participants enjoyed a variety of competitions in addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play.

“It was a great outing,” said Marilyn Balcombe, GGCC Executive Director. “Everyone stayed safe and it was nice to be able to see everyone.”

The chamber’s tournament affords golfers the opportunity to grow their business and play golf at the same time; and the opportunity to network.

Given the current landscape, the Chamber ensured the health and safety of its sponsors, golfers, and volunteers by adhering to CDC guidelines and regulations set forth by the course. Together, everyone had an enjoyable time in a safe and healthy environment on a beautiful day.

Placing third was the Buch Construction, Inc. team comprised of Keith Clemente, Fred Miller, Brooks Cucuel and Rich Watson. Buch Construction was a tournament sponsor as well.

Coming in second was the Caliber Home Loans, Inc. team comprised of Jeff Sandusky, CJ Norfolk, Patrick Norfolk, and Ryk Palmer. Caliber Home Loans also sponsored the putting contest.

And in first place, was the foursome which included PJ Horan, Highlander Financial Group; and Brett Friedman, Sean Falk, and Kenny Kramek from DeLeon & Stang, CPAs and Advisors. DeLeon & Stang was a tournament sponsor and the Highlander Financial Group sponsored the beverage cart.
