Great weather and a beautiful course at the Golf Club at Gray?s Crossing set the stage for a season opener unlike any other. Northwestern Mutual?s sponsorship of the Break the Glass Contest was a spectacle captured beautifully on GoPro HD Hero 2 cameras. The field of competitors then enjoyed a round filled with laughs and long drives in the scramble format play. Also, on hole #12, BigTruck Headwear set up shop with the first ever drive-in, drive out on site custom hat stitching booth. The event concluded with the awards ceremony, beats from DJ One Truest, a delicious catered dinner from Full Belly Deli, and satiating spirits from DBI/Miller/Coors and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
