Over 90 golfers attended Ironside’s 3rd Annual Golf Tournament at The International Golf Club in Bolton, MA on Wednesday September 11th.   This year’s event was the largest to date and we would like to thank our sponsors, IBM, Avnet, and a big thank you to one of our customers, the Acushnet company.  Acushnet had sent over a few experts from Titleist who set up a demo tent and provided golf shirts for the Ironside team.  In addition to our sponsors, we would like to  thank everyone who participated in yet another successful golf event.

Temperatures exceeded 90 degrees that day, but it did not spoil the fun!  Following golf, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were served in the clubhouse along with an awards ceremony for the 1st and 2nd Place groups, longest drive, closest to the pin, and our favorite award the losing group!

Thank you again to everyone who joined us; we can’t wait for next year!
