Announcing the 2026 Inaugural NNV Golf Tournament It may be cold outside but we have set our sights to a warm spring day on the green. Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 28, 2026, for NNV's Inaugural Golf Tournament at Sligo Creek Golf Course in Silver Spring, MD. Compete in a nine-hole team scramble, long drive contest, and closest to the pin competition. The day will include a continental breakfast and post-golf snacks at the awards ceremony. We are looking forward to a morning full of camaraderie and competition, not to mention the bragging rights of being the tournament champions of our inaugural event! Tickets are $450 for a foursome or $125 for an individual. We are quite grateful to Kimberly Cestari at Long & Foster, for being our overall tournament sponsor and we thank her for her enthusiasm and support for this new NNV event. Please consider joining us or give the gift of golf to your family and friends for the holidays by signing up at our registration website or by sponsoring a hole to show your support. We look forward to seeing everyone on May 28, 2026. You have plenty of time to dust off the clubs and get in a little practice with your buddies. Please contact Bill Willis at [email protected] with any questions. |
