IREM Boston Chapter #4 to host 11th annual benefit golf tournament on Sept. 13 at Granite Links Golf Club

The Boston Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate (IREM) is hosting its 11th annual golf tournament on September 13 at the Granite Links Golf Club, rated by Golf Digest as one of the top 100 courses in the country. IREM national president Randy Woodbury, who was elected 2010 president 50 years after his grandfather served in the same post, will be on hand that day. A portion of the proceeds from the tournament will benefit the IREM Foundation, a nonprofit educational organization which has, among other programs, helped retrain military veterans for real estate management careers. "We are so pleased to host this great event at one of the premiere golf courses in the country," said IREM Boston Chapter No. 4 president Rob Crowley, CPM. "And this year is especially meaningful because national president Randy Woodbury will be joining us for what promises to be a great day of golf to benefit our educational programs." The September 13 tournament is a Florida scramble and includes lunch, golf, cart, golf clinic, dinner, raffles, silent auction, networking reception and a vendor expo booth. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. In addition to the golf tournament, IREM is hosting a golf clinic for beginner golfers. Spouses, friends, family members or significant others are invited to register for the clinic, which is also being held at Granite Links Golf Club. The golf clinic will be taught by a Granite Links Club professional and will include instruction on basic techniques and fundamentals. Clinic and dinner fee is $89. There are also sponsoring opportunities as well as the chance to participate in the IREM Boston Chapter No. 4 Vendor Expo, although space is very limited. For IREM members, the cost of an Expo table and golf tournament is $250 and for non-members, it is $300.
