Activity Announcement
Stoney Creek – The Swedish American Chamber of Commerce (SACC) of the Carolinas’ 5th Annual Classic Golf Invitational Tournament took place at the beautiful Stoney Creek Golf Club on May 18, 2007.
The tournament was hosted and sponsored by SACC of the Carolinas. Other valued sponsors were: Nomacorc, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Quintiles Inc. , Saab Barracuda LLC, Scandinavian Airline SystemS, Skanska USA Building Inc., Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan L.L.P., Sony Ericsson, Stoney Creek Golf Club, SWEA NC,

The day started with a light breakfast and after Peter Lindroos and Paul’s opening remarks the tournament got under way with a 10 am shotgun start, meaning teams teed off at the same time from different holes. The format of the tournament was a Foursome Scramble.
The driving forces of the tournament were Peter Lindroos, Anders Molne, Annika Mannerstrale and Ulla Karlsson. Volunteers at the registration table were Eva Eriksson and Christina S. Messick and Leif Karlsson was in charge of the putting contest.
For $10 players could try their luck at making a putt on the practice green between the ninth and 10th holes. As 3rd man in team F-Origin, after intensely studying the break Anders Molne was the 1st to sink the ball. Stefan Lindvall also made the putt, which lead to a putt out between the two, Anders nudging an inch closer to the hole.
When all the teams had finished a delicious luncheon was served from the Fairways Grill, during which the award ceremony took place. Peter Lindroos handed out the awards and thanked all of the volunteers, sponsors, and welcoming every one back for next years tournament.
When all the scores were in, team SAAB Barracuda with Magnus Natt och Dag, Robert Martin, EJ Womack, and Nick Womack had the best score and they each carried home a Golf Wedge and the team was also presented with a trophy.
Team Molne with Anders Molne, Sean Ahr, Gunilla Davidsson,and Bryan Warner, were runner up. They each won a Volvo Ocean Race Leather Duffel Bag containing various items and the team also received a trophy.

Several other prizes were awarded and last but not least was the Raffle drawing of wonderful prizes such as two Orrefors crystal bowls donated by Scandinavian Airline Systems, mobile phones from Sony Ericsson, several different items from Quintiles, two wine bottles w/double carrier from Trenco-Iris and many more prizes donated by our many generous sponsors.
