Virginia has experienced a stunning spring this year, and it was never more evident than at the VACB 24th Annual Bankers’ Cup Golf Tournament on May 13 at Spring Creek Golf Club in Zion Crossroads. VACB member bankers and associate members gathered for a day of fun and fellowship on the green. The mood was congenial, with golfers looking forward to being together on a gorgeous day and playing a fast round of golf.
This year’s tournament was again graciously co-sponsored by Williams Mullen, and 16 teams wasted no time getting to their spots for the shotgun start. To get the morning started on the right foot, this year’s tournament featured the ever-popular tune-up/warm-up beverage station sponsored by Revio. Out on the fairway, players were well‑fed and hydrated, thanks to our supporting sponsors. Stifel, an endorsed provider of ICBA, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta were our sponsors of the beverage carts during the tournament, and Sentry Management provided boxed lunches. Many thanks also to S&P Global who provided golf balls for all the players! Our tournament wouldn’t be complete without thanking our Captain’s Club sponsors, Banc Card of America, Community Bankers’ Bank, Pendleton Community Bank and Revio.
As the Spring Creek golf pro tallied up tournament results to determine the winners, golfers enjoyed a meal, a beverage and networking at the post-tournament reception and meal. VACB Vice Chair Lisa Kilgour from MainStreet Bank and VACB’s Steve Yeakel awarded team and contest prizes.
The 24th Annual Bankers’ Cup tournament was a tremendous success once again, and we thank all our members for their support, both on and off the green! We could not do what we do without your continued help and support!
