Get your foursome together and spend a great day on the golf course with the CHQ Chamber! The annual CHQ Chamber Golf Tournament is Thursday, August 21 at the beautiful Peek’n Peak Resort.

Networking doesn’t get much better than on the golf course, and the CHQ Chamber tournament is always a fabulous day of golf and camaraderie. The pro-level course at the Peek is a golfer’s dream.

Register by July 18th at the Early Bird rate of $185 per person. After July 18th the price goes up to $195 per person. Your registration includes greens fees, cart, a tee gift sponsored by the Basil Family of Dealerships, lunch, and dinner.

We begin the day with a shotgun start at 10am. (This is an hour earlier than last year.) Lunch is served on the course, and after a great day of golf we end with dinner. The total prize purse is $1,000 payable in ShopLocalCHQ Gift Cards.

Remember to add your golfer’s special Super Pack for $30 per player. The Super Pack includes two mulligans, the Ring of Fire, Play with the Pro, raffle prize drawings, and the 50/50 drawing. Please purchase your Super Pack online when you register, as prizes are drawn prior to play the day of the tournament. New this year: there will be one special golfer’s raffle prize drawn at the close of the tournament.

You can purchase a Par Sponsorship online, which includes a golf foursome AND the Super Pack for all four players. If you are already signed up as a Par sponsor please email us to let us know who will be playing on your team.

Become a Tee Talk Sponsor! Just a handful of organizations can participate by having an informational table set up at a hole to provide product samples, materials, and a chance to chat with the golfers on the course.

Our tee gift sponsor is the Basil Family of Dealerships. Par sponsors are Brooks-TLC Hospital System, Cattaraugus County Bank, Chautauqua Patrons Insurance Agency, DFT Communications, Koester Associates, LaBella Associates, Lake Shore Savings Bank, National Grid, Nestle Purina PetCare, and Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union.
