2009 AAF-Cleveland Golf Outing - August 3rd

  

In advertising the stakes are high and the competition is fierce.  The same can't be said for our golf outing.  But we promise it'll be more fun than the office.  Plus, it's a great way to network (and golf) with some of Cleveland's most creative minds.

Monday, August 3rd, Avon Oaks Country Club.  
Driving range and putting green open at 9:30am
Registration at 10:30am
Lunch and shotgun start at 11:30am
Dinner and putting contest for $2500 prize after golf

Individual golfers - $145    Foursomes - $525
