You are invited to participate in the GhFA Annual Spring Golf Tournament. While the golf tournament represents a fun day, at the same time, it fits into a larger workforce development initiative the Association has underway across the state. Plan to arrive early and practice before the 12:30 pm shotgun start. The day’s Awards Presentation begins immediately after play.  Mark your calendar for Monday, April 12^th for a 12:30 PM shot-gun start at The River Pines Golf Club in Alpharetta, GA.  Reps bring a group of your customers and play together or simply invite other fellow furniture retailers.  Either way, come out and enjoy being with the nicest people around in the furniture business. 

The golf tournament is hosted by the association’s Resort Activities Committee. This group is represented by Joel Jackson, McNeilly Champion, Ultra Shield and Homesprice Decor, Bill Minchew, Hekman / Woodmark and French Heritage, and David Renkes, Vaughan Furniture, Great River Trading Furniture and  Uwharrie Chair Company. In cooperation with the members of the Association’s Board of Directors, these gentlemen play a major role in helping to insure the tournament’s success.
