Gwinnett
Swing into Spring tournament expected to attract 150
An estimated 150 players are expected to compete in the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce’s fifth annual Swing into Spring golf tournament at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth on May 29. One hundred forty-four executives played last year in the tournament, whose six major sponsors include Charter Business and Verizon. Business executives will compete in foursomes over 18 holes, with trophies awarded for the first-, second- and third-place teams.
“It’s a day to mix and mingle and network,” said Lisa Sherman, the chamber’s vice president of communications. “It’s all in an effort to cultivate the tight, close-knit business community we want in Georgia.”
