Introduction

Dear all,

We would like to extend a  warm thank you to all the players and sponsors that participated in this year's Swedish Embassy Open.  Our sponsors, the exceptional weather and the record number of players made for a truly successful tournament.  With the goal of always improving the event, some new features were introduced this year. Lunch was upgraded from sandwiches to a full cookout, an open beverage cart was provided with compliments of Volvo Group North America and a new rule designed to encourage female participants was implemented. The rule gave teams with a female player a two stroke handicap and worked its charm - not only did we have more female golfers this year but we also had several winning teams with women players!

A special thanks goes out to our Platinum Sponsor Nammo AS as well as our three gold sponsors Skanska, Saab and Volvo Cars North American together with Martens Volvo. It certainly gives the tournament a level of excitement to have a hole-in-one car on the course.

Last but not least we would like to thank Ambassador Jonas Hafström and his wife Eva for opening up their home to us for the wonderful evening reception and award ceremony. Chef Frida Johansson had composed and cooked an amazing and delicious buffet dinner that surely satisfied all the hungry golfers and guests.

Again, thanks to all players and sponsors and if you were not able to participate this year, we hope to see you at the SEO of 2011!

Best regards,

The SACC-DC Golf Committee
