A golf scramble tournament was a welcome respite of “fun in the sun” to break up the schedule of networking and one-on-one meetings during the fourth annual Pest Management Professional (PMP) Growth Summit. The event took place March 5 on the Arnold Palmer Course at the Reunion Resort, Kissimmee, Fla. The signature, par 72 course features elevation changes of up to 50 feet in some places, to give seasoned golfers a challenge and new golfers a fun experience. With record-breaking high temperatures just the day before, golfers were slightly nervous — but the weather was near-perfect for an afternoon on the links.
Non-golfing attendees, partners and staffers gathered for lunch at the Reunion’s Clubhouse restaurant, and then took advantage of their free time. But after the outing, everyone reunited for a delicious barbecue poolside, catered — as is now a PMP Growth Summit tradition — by local favorite 4 Rivers Smokehouse. Scramble winners were recognized with gift cards to the Reunion’s golf shop.
