NASF St. Louis Branch's 21st Annual Golf Outing
TIME TO SHINE UP THOSE GOLF CLUBS!
The NASF St. Louis Branch's 21st Annual Golf Outing is right around the corner on Tuesday (different day of the week than usual), June 8th, 2010. To join us, please download the registration form at the link below.
Our venue for the afternoon will be the very scenic Pevely Farms Golf Club, near Eureka, MO and one of the top-ranked golf facilities in the St. Louis area. But don't let the reputation of the course intimidate you. The golf outing is in a very novice-friendly, team format. (Being good at golf is optional!) If you need to practice up first, we've got you covered. During the round there are lovely libations to keep you refreshed and GPS-equipped golf cars to keep you from getting lost. And if that's still not enough to entice you, we'll serve a great buffet dinner afterwards. We're sure that you'll have a fabulous time! We look forward to seeing you there.
If you have any questions please contact Joe Renaud at (636) 394-6334.
