"In 2010 GBS began conducting an annual golf outing principally amongst the Shipyard employees to foster team building within the yard," noted Evan Baumberger, Manager, Quality Assurance Department at GB Shipyard, and one of the organisers of this year's golf tournament. "Over the next couple of years, the event grew to include our partners in the marine related industries and was a way to engage in face-to-face networking in a social environment. This year we wanted to provide a more meaningful outcome of the tournament so we have decided to donate the proceeds to charity."
The golf tournament will be played at the Reef Golf Course and is open to both male and female golfers with an entry fee of $65 per golfer. The tournament will be a two-player team scramble, with prizes for first place, second place and third place teams as well as "Closest-to-the Pin" on two par 3 holes, "Longest Drive" and a putting contest. The organisers of the tournament also hope to have a "Hole-in-One" challenge, which will boast a very special prize.
In addition to the golfing prizes, there will be a raffle at the end of the day's golfing. There will also be a "perpetual" trophy to help memorialise the winning team. Last year 63 golfers participated in the tournament with the team of John Laris, Stuart Clotworthy and Sam Anthony winning the tournament.
