6th Annual  PMIWDC Chapter Golf Tournament

The date for the 5th Annual PMI WDC golf outing is fast approaching. We are more than half way to having the allowed number of golfers participates, so please register as soon as possible to ensure your slot on the tee box. It is scheduled for Thursday, June 4th at the Westfield’s Golf Club in Centreville, VA.  

The 18-hole course features 6,897 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71.  The course rating is 73.1 and it has a slope rating of 136 on Bent grass. 

At Westfield’s, Fred Couples has built a course that is, at once, fun and accessible for the novice, while challenging and thought-provoking for the experienced golfer. There are enough elevation changes, water hazards, sand traps and other obstacles to keep you on your toes all around the course.

The tournament fee is $70 for members and $90 for non-PMI members. The fee includes a box lunch, range fees, cart fees, dinner and lots and lots of door prizes.  It’s a great opportunity to meet and network with your fellow PMI Members.  

In addition, we are still soliciting sponsors for the event and are really pleased with the interest shown. There are sponsorships available and we encourage you to make the commitment and confirm your twosomes or foursomes!

Register yourself or as a sponsor while there's still space.
See you on the tee box!
