Chamber hosts annual Golf Classic

Looking for a way to network in a more casual setting?

The Homewood Chamber of Commerce’s annual Golf Classic is the perfect place to do that, said the chamber’s executive director Meredith Drennen.

“It’s been wildly successful the last few years,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to bring out your clients, folks that you would like to have a little bit of extra time with, and talk casually over a game of golf.”

The Golf Classic will be Oct. 27 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Oxmoor Valley, at 100 SunBelt Parkway in Birmingham. Registration will start at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9. 

The event has become a “chamber staple,” Drennen said, and it serves as the chamber’s largest annual fundraiser. Funds go back into promoting economic development, providing scholarships for local students and promoting the Homewood community.

“It brings in a lot of folks in the community who want to be involved even if they aren’t golfers,” Drennen said. “And it’s a good chance to network with everybody.”

According to the chamber, space in the Golf Classic fills up quickly. For more information or to sign up, visit homewoodchamber.org.
