A Magical Day of Golf – ARF 2011 Golf Tournament

The Ammonia Refrigeration Foundation (ARF) 2011Golf Tournament will be held Saturday, March 26, 2011 in conjunction with the IIAR 2011 Industrial Refrigeration Conference & Heavy Equipment Show in Orlando, Florida

“Make your plans now to arrive in Orlando a day early and enjoy playing one of the most wonderful golf courses in the country,” said Foundation Chairman Don Stroud. “The ARF Golf Tournament is an excellent opportunity to play a round of golf with colleagues before the busy conference agenda kicks off, and lend your support to the future of ammonia refrigeration by participating in ARF’s Golf Tournament.”

The golf fees and sponsorship revenue help to underwrite the work done by the Foundation. This year, purchasing a foursome will give you the opportunity to gain your customer’s undivided attention as you play Disney’s scenic Osprey Ridge Golf Course. From tee to green, your group will be challenged by the masterfully designed course, offering rolling fairways and large greens for every skill level. With one of Golf Digest’s highest ratings and spectacular personal service, Osprey Ridge has earned a place on the playlists of the pros.

“We’ll be playing at one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the country. Orlando has a reputation for hospitality and wonderful year-round weather,” said ARF Golf Chairman John Hendrickson. “We’re very excited to offer this venue, and we’re looking forward to our most successful tournament yet.”

The Osprey Ridge Golf Course is a challenging Par 72 course, and one of Florida’s favorite fairways. Designed by world renowned golf architect Tom Fazio, the course combines native tropical wilderness and nature preserve landscapes with immaculately groomed greens.

Rated as one of the “Top 100 Resorts” by Golf Digest magazine, Osprey Ridge is not just visually pleasing; it’s also certified by Audubon International as a Cooperative Wildlife Sanctuary.

Centrally located at the Disney Resort, the course is just minutes from IIAR’s conference venue at the Caribe Royale Resort Hotel in Orlando. To learn more about the Osprey Ridge Golf Course, visit www.disneyworldgolf.com.

“We can’t wait to get on the course,” said Hendrickson. “Not only is this tournament important to the future of our industry, it’s also the place we catch up with old friends and look forward to meeting new people.”

The format for this year’s outing differs from the typical scramble playing style, allowing all participants a chance to play their own ball throughout the match. A unique scoring system for the event will challenge the avid golfers to compete for the prize of individual champion. At the same time, the more casual golfers have a chance to enjoy the fun while helping their foursome compete for team prizes.

Your participation in ARF’s golf tournament benefits the entire ammonia refrigeration industry. The Ammonia Refrigeration Foundation is a non-profit research and education foundation organized to promote educational and scientific projects related to industrial refrigeration and the use of ammonia as well as other natural refrigerants.
