UFirst 1st Golf Tournament Winners

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

United First Financial held an invitation only golf tournament at St. Ives Country Club in Atlanta, GA preceeding the 2008 International Convention. In a previous blog named: UFirst Golf Scramble Tournament 2008 St. Ives Atlanta, GA

I layed out the day and the details about my specific foursome. I had speculated with how good we shot that we might have a chance of winning with our handicap(Chip Robinson.) Well yesterday on the Branch Managers Call all of the winners were announced.

In second place with a total score of 59 was: Richard Schaffer, David Montgomery, Todd Skousen, tbc.

In First place with a total score of 58 was…you guessed it: Brooke Barnett, Kim Kline, Hugh (Chip) Robinson, and Sheryl Andrade.

There were also awards for closest to the pin and longest drive. I will add them when I recieve that info.

Tied for the most honorable award, best dressed, was Tom Keener and yours truly. Enjoy the clip.

Atlanta is proving to be everything it was claimed to be. The production setup is top notch and the owners of UFirst plan to deliver on every promise. I can not explain in words the energy in this room with over 5000 motivated agents in the room. Carly Robinson, the daughter of Senior Executive Branch Manager Chip Robinson opened up the event with the National Anthem. Take a look.

UFirst Golf Scramble Tournament 2008 St. Ives Atlanta, GA

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Today was a day to go down in the record books. Over 100 of the top leaders in United First Financial joined on one course to play golf and enjoy the beautiful sites of St. Ives Country Club. This invitation only event was offered to UFirst Agents who are Branch Manager and above. For those who do not golf, tennis was offered also.

The day began with a lunch in the club house which gave all of us a chance to take in Tom Keener’s, genuine, authentic, Payne Stewart out fit complete with knickers and argoyle socks. I came in a close second with a replica outfit. After the thrill of the outfits we all headed out on the course for a 1:30PM shotgun start. The winning four some, to be announced later, will get a nice award. In addition, the second place team will also recieve an award. Other awards will be presented for longest drive and closest to the pin.

Our team consisting of Kim Kline, Chip Robinson, Sheryl Andrade and myself shot a meere -2 for 18 holes. We don’t think it will be good enough to win anything but then again three of us are not golfers so our handicap is quite high.

It was a fun filled day with all of the owners of UFirst and biggest names in the business. The time spent and ideas thrown around on the course we priceless.

We ended the day with a Smith National Organization Inner Circle meeting and dinner. Compliments of Steve and Sarah Smith a select few enjoyed a fabulous meal and listened to a few great ideas and upcomming events and trainings. While I am not part of the inner circle I was specially invited and would like to thanks the Smiths for all they have given back.
