Chip In to Win!

Last Friday, PSG Raleigh sponsored a hole at the 2015 BOMA Golf Tournament.  Players were challenged in a “Chip In to Win” contest where they tried to chip a small beach ball into a water cooler. Those who were successful were entered into a drawing for a $100 gift card to Golfsmith!  Everyone had a great time testing their skills!
 

BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association), has the mission “to enhance the level of professionalism and ethics in the commercial real estate industry and to support its members through education, advocacy and the development of strategic relationships.”
