The rain didn’t stop our Director of Business Development, Holly from hosting Hole 12 with a smile at the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing on June 15th. Together with our friends at DeVos Place Convention Center she developed a fun theme for the hole – which won the honor of being voted “Best Hole” by the golfers.
At the "Survivor" themed hole, golfers would have to win immunity. Inspired in part by the game show "Minute to Win It", each of the golfers had an empty tissue box with 5 ping pong balls in it strapped to their back with a belt. They had 60 seconds try to bounce these balls out of the box (to music of course). Depending on the number of people that passed the challenge, the entire group got to tee off from a numbered, pre-set flag somewhere out on the par 5. If all 4 players passed the challenge, they got to tee off from flag 4, which was located 100 yards from the hole.
Holly is so creative with her ideas, she really better be careful or we might pull her off her sales role and put her to work planning events! Not only did Holly pull all this off on a rainy day but she was the LONE STAR back home while the rest of Grand Connection worked a large event in Chicago (more on that later... if I get time).
p.s. special thanks to Mike at Nimlok for getting us the banner and to Lesley at Good Work for rushing the layout to print!
