Regional Spotlight
PPAMS Putt-putt Golf Tournament
|
|
|
It's not a big trophy, but bragging rights are tremendous!
|
"Years ago, PPAMS put on a golf tournament. But because not everyone can play and it's considerably more expensive to play 'real' golf, we were looking for a fun activity that everyone could do. Putt-putt is for everyone and by piggy-backing the putt-putt event with a tradeshow in town, we attract suppliers who wouldn't normally be here." Read more by PPAMS Executive Director Mark Farrar HERE how this event is a great team-building and networking event for
PPAMS members.
