On Friday, September 16th, the Portsmouth Area Chamber of Commerce will host the 25th Annual Chamber Fall Classic Golf Outing at the Elk’s Country Club.

The organization is currently asking for sponsorships and registrations on their website www.portsmouth.org

The format of the game is a 4-man scramble.

According to golftips.com, the style is often is used at large-scale golf events, such as charity, corporate or pro-am outings. A prime advantage of a scramble is it allows players of all abilities to contribute to the team’s success and helps speed play. Golfers who are new to the format can quickly learn the rules and terminology. The most common scramble format is for four players, but it can be used with fewer or more players.

The scramble is organized by tournament director Dawn Scott.

The cost is $80 per person or $320 a team. The event is September 16, with registration at 8 a.m. and a 9 a.m. shotgun at the Elks Country Club.

All golfers will be given a complete list of sponsors when they check in for the tournament. Hole sponsorships are requested by 8/25/22 in order to get the signs made. Your sign will be prominently displayed at the sponsored hole all day. If you have any questions, please call the Chamber office at (740) 353-7647.
