It’s time again for the Annual World Trade Association of Utah Scholarship Golf Tournament. This year’s tournament with be held on Friday, September 26, 2008 at the Talons Cove golf course.
The WTA hosts this annual tournament to raise funds for local students pursuing an education in international business. Scholarships will be awarded based on outstanding achievements and merit.
The WTA has selected Talons Cove as the new home of their scholarship golf tournament. In 2005 and 2006 Talons Cove hosted the Utah Open. In addition to being a challenging course with a beautiful view of Utah Lake and Mt. Timpanogos, it is conveniently located just 30 minutes from both Provo and Salt Lake City.
This tournament is an opportunity to kick back and relax while giving back to the community. Organize a group of four people to represent your company and join the international community for a day of playful banter and competition. There will be prizes donated by local companies for various competions including hole-in-one, closest to the hole, longest drive, and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and last place awards.
Please join us for the Annual World Trade Association of Utah Scholarship Golf Tournament. For pricing or to RSVP please contact Lisa Cox at lisa@freightlink.net. |
