Business on course

The annual opportunity for Cambridge Chamber of Commerce members to get to know each other on the golf course was held at Cambridge Golf Club last week.

Despite the fairways resembling the Sahara Desert, the 23 teams of four – made up of golfers of various abilities – were undeterred as they participated in the nine-hole ambrose event.

Stellar Projects claimed top prize with an impressive 27.25 nett score followed by BuildLink Cambridge in second on 27.5. The competition was fierce, but the atmosphere remained light-hearted and fun.

A unique sideline came with the Yellow Ball challenge where teams paid for an additional ball as part of a separate stableford event within their round. Funds raised went to Cambridge St John adding a charitable twist to the day.

Chamber chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said the event, now in its fifth year, had become a highlight in the calendar with its mix of skill, fundraising and camaraderie.

“This is a great way to foster connections and friendly competition within the local business community,” she said.
