On April 30, 2010 the Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions held the 17th Annual Golf Classic event raising over $18,000 to support the Credit Union Political Action Committee (CUPAC). The tournament, held at the Plantation Palms Golf Club in Land O’ Lakes, Florida, was coordinated by Emily Nichols of Grow Financial Federal Credit Union and was set up as a 4 person shotgun scramble. Fifty six Credit Union supporters registered to participate forming a total of 14 teams in the tournament.
As each team made their way around the golf course, they stopped at the 14th hole to join the AXIS Solutions staff sponsoring a celebration tent with the theme of “Cinco De Mayo” serving themed food and drinks. The golf course contests were sponsored by GTE Federal Credit Union. After finishing the course each player enjoyed a Mexican lunch buffet sponsored by Leverage, The LSCU Service Corporation. The 1st place winning team at the tournament with the best score of 60 went to Brian Best, Wes Strickland, Jon Jacoby and John Trujillo. Congratulations!
