NAFCU Services Corporation’s Preferred Partner Special Events

Golf Tournament

Wednesday April 16, 2008

6:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

NAFCU Services will host the 9^th Annual NAFCU Services Preferred Partner Golf Tournament at the exclusive Key West Golf Club. The course encompasses over 200 acres of beautiful Florida Keys foliage and wildlife. Golf legend Rees Jones designed the 18 hole, 6,500 yard course to challenge players of all abilities. Come experience the Southernmost golf course in the United States, with its infamous "Mangrove Hole" (143 yards, par 3 that is played completely over a field of thickly intertwined tropical mangroves).

Buses leave at 6:15 a.m., and the tournament begins with a shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. We’ll play a four-person “Texas Scramble” where each player plays their own ball from the point of the team’s best drive. Don’t miss this exciting event!    Both team and individual golfing awards presented at the Awards Luncheon to follow.

Deep Sea Fishing Excursion

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Encountering a marlin, sailfish, tuna, or wahoo, will get your adrenaline flowing and motivate you to catch that next big idea for your credit union’s success.

As a secondary benefit to all fishermen, the wildlife and scenery from offshore, with the 90-mile Gulf stream as a backdrop, is spectacular. Have your cameras ready! Both boat and individual fishing awards presented at the Awards Luncheon to follow.
