Beyond the Fairways: Golf and Community

Greensboro is a big golfing community. Golf tournaments bring tremendous economic and social value to our community. It is estimated that this week’s Wyndham Tournament will attract upwards of 100,000 visitors with a $50 million dollar economic impact.*

If you were at the Sedgefield Country Club yesterday, you saw crowds starting to grow at the Day 1 of the pro tournament. Thursday’s opening round concluded with 31-year-old, California native Beau Hossler leading with 9-under par.

Many local restaurants help welcome the Wyndham Tournament community throughout the week. Pictured above is the talented local duo Jessica Mashburn and Evan Olson, performing last night for a Wyndham group at Print Works Bistro in the Proximity Hotel. The crowd was energetic and welcoming, while their lively, perfectly curated music kept guests dancing, mingling, and enjoying the evening. We hope you have a chance to connect in some way with this very special Greensboro tradition. You’ve got three more days: At the very least, live coverage is available through the Golf Channel, CBS, and some digital streaming options.

Happy Friday!
