Friday oCTOBER 10, 2025 a great day out on the links!
The 2025Chamber / Rotary Golf Scramble is a great day out on the links with friends to end the season. This event ispresented by the Benton /West City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Benton Rotary Club; with the support of our major sponsors and our hole sponsors. Proceeds from the event fund outreach efforts for both organizations. Rotary uses proceeds for programs such as BRRAG (Benton Rotary Random Act of Giving); and the Chamber uses funds for their membership, Scholarships and community programs. The Benton/West City Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Scramble was blessed with perfect weather — sunshine and temperatures in the 70s all day long. The morning flight teed off with 8 teams of four, followed by 9 teams in the afternoon. Players enjoyed plenty of time to network and relax over lunch, with all prize drawings completed before the second flight began. The course was filled with laughter, cheers, and the occasional “fooooouuur!” echoing across the greens. Whether celebrating shots under par or lamenting a ball lost to the lake, everyone had a fantastic day reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new friends.
Food for the event is sponsored by Peoples National Bank and provided by Pop's BBQ. Additional thanks to all our generous chamber members for your donations towards individual prizes, raffle items, and player goodie bags.
