The Griffin-Spalding Chamber of Commerce’s third annual Business at the Tee Golf Tournament is April 16 at the Canongate at Sun City Peachtree Golf Course.

This year’s event, brought to you by presenting sponsor Haisten McCullough Funeral Home for the second year in a row, goes off in a shotgun start at 12 noon and also includes a lunch provided by Chick-fil-A and Truett’s in addition to heavy post-round hors d’oeuvre at the clubhouse where awards and door prizes will be handed out.

Awards include $100 pro shop gift certificate per player to the winning team, $75 pro shop gift certificate per player to the runner-ups and $50 pro shop gift certificate per player to the third-place team in addition to awards for longest drive and closest to the pin — with a chance to win a car on one of the holes.

Fee to enter the tournament is $125 per player or $400 per four-man team, which is $350 if you are already an annual Chamber sponsor. Various sponsorship packages include: Gold ($1,000), Silver ($700) and Business at the Tee ($350). Supporting sponsorships are also available for $150 per green-side sign.
