BOMA Boston Cup 2012: A drive out to Plymouth

The 2012 BOMA Cup Golf Outing and Barbeque was held on Monday, July 9th. The event was a sell-out for the seventh year in a row, with over 290 golfers participating. It was a perfect day for golf, and the Nicklaus and Jones courses were in pristine condition at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth. Everyone had a great time, and many participants were rewarded for outstanding performances. Congratulations to CCI, Inc. (Jones course) and NAI Hunneman (Nicklaus course) - who took home the BOMA Cups for 2012. This year's tournament also featured a long drive and closest to the pin competitions for both courses, while reviving the putting contest which took place during the reception. BOMA Boston would like to thank everyone who helped make this a great success!
