The Minnesota Association of Metal Finishers will host its annual golf tournament on Friday, August 7, at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake, Minnesota.
The event brings together professionals from across the plating and surface finishing industry for a day of networking, competition, and fundraising. Visit https://mnamf.org to register.
The event, scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., will feature a full day of activities designed to engage golfers and industry participants alike, while also offering suppliers and companies a range of sponsorship opportunities to showcase their brands.
Full-Day Event Blends Golf and Networking
The tournament will follow a structured schedule beginning with registration and driving range access at 10:30 a.m., followed by lunch featuring grill fare, beverages, and a Bloody Mary bar at 11:00 a.m. Golfers will tee off at 12:30 p.m. in a shotgun start format.
Play will use a four-person scramble format, in which each team selects the best shot and all players hit from that position until the hole is completed. Scorekeeping will be managed through the Golf Genius mobile app, with each team responsible for tracking its results during the round.
The day will conclude with a 6:00 p.m. barbecue dinner in the Fireside Room, followed by awards, prizes, and raffle drawings.
To add excitement throughout the course, the tournament will include several skill-based contests with prizes. These include longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin, and closest to the line competitions on designated holes.
A golf ball launcher—capable of propelling balls more than 300 yards—will also be available as a featured attraction, supported by sponsors and designed to enhance fundraising efforts.
