VACB — Williams Mullen 23rd Annual Bankers’ Golf Cup Tournament

VACB held its 23rd Annual Bankers’ Cup Golf Tournament on May 22 at Spring Creek Golf Club in Gordonsville. Over 70 bankers and associate members gathered for a day of fun and fellowship on the green. The mood was electric and jovial as golfers were glad to be together on a day that featured textbook outing weather and a fast round of golf.

This year’s tournament was again co-sponsored by Williams Mullen, and 19 teams wasted no time getting to their spots for the shotgun start. To get the morning and the tournament started, this year’s tournament again featured the tune-up, warm-up beverage station sponsored by KlariVis. 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 graciously sponsored the beverage carts during the tournament, and Sentry Management provided boxed lunches. Many thanks also to S&P Global & Atlas who provided golf balls for all the players! Our Captain’s Club sponsor, Banc Card, held a meet and greet at their designated hole and gave players a quick break during their day on the green.

As the Spring Creek golf pro tallied up tournament results to determine the winners, golfers enjoyed food and networking at the post-tournament reception and meal. VACB Chairman Jay Stafford from Benchmark Community Bank and VACB’s Steve Yeakel awarded team and contest prizes.

The 23rd 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!
