16th Annual ‘Trick or Tee’ Golf Tournament A Success

Corporate support comes from all business sectors in the Bahamas.  This includes hotels operators, restaurants, attractions,  food and beverage distributors, travel and tour companies, financial institutions, marketing and promotion companies, insurance companies,  and service operations. Sponsors provided cash donations, players fees, corporate prizes, and/or provision of products and promotional goodies for the Golfers “Trick or Tee” Bag.

This year, Platinum and Gold Sponsors were able to “Dress up their own Hole” and Golf Carts, in keeping with the Halloween “Trick of Tee” Theme.  Sponsors set up emblazoned corporate tents, banners, flags and some had personnel giving away promotion items, beverages and products from the Sands Beer Tent and the Heineken Stand. Golfers played a “Fidelity Fun Wheel” at the Fidelity Tent, while the Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board (NPIPB) tantalized the players taste buds with Bahamian treats at their hole. Atlantis, Aquapure, Scotia Bank, all dressed up their respective Holes, while companies such as The British Colonial Hilton, Milo B. Butler & Sons Distributors, Caribbean Bottling Co, Serena Williams Media and PR, PINOL – Bahamas Wholesale Agency, Sign-a-Rama, Graycliff, Cole Insurance, Resorts World Bimini, Leisure Tours, J.S. Johnson, Bahamas Food Services, KFC, D’Albenas filled players “Trick or Tee bags” with corporate products and paraphernalia or gave generous cash donations to the cause.

Suzanne Pattusch, Executive Vice President of the BHTA stated: “We could not have done this without the support and participation of our amazing corporate sponsors, our golfers, and of course the BHTA Staff, volunteers and Golf Committee Members.

“We fully expect next year to be even more dynamic; more entertaining” said Charlotte Knowles Thompson, Administrator and Committee Member. “The Sponsors are already plotting how to outperform their “friendly competition” not only on the course, but at their respective “sponsored holes !”.
