Filled with history and meaning, the Jim Ellis Memorial Golf Classic, hosted by the Irvine Chamber, brings together business, people and the love of golf. An all-day event, there is time for plenty of merry-making, amicable rivalries and lively entertainment. Clearly one of the most beloved Chamber events, this annual tournament has been drawing a sizeable crowd since 1982.
But more than just business or relaxation, the Jim Ellis Memorial Golf Classic is about giving back. Each year, this event serves as a fundraiser for local charities. For the 2008 golf tournament, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Lt. Col. Thomas U. Wall Scholarship Fund.
The 2008 Jim Ellis Memorial Golf Classic will be held at Strawberry Farms Golf Club on Wednesday, September 17, starting at 11:30 a.m. The Strawberry Farms Golf Club is a scenic and challenging course, with 18 holes and 6,700 yards set amongst canyons and wetlands. At the end of the day, there will be a fun and relaxed awards ceremony, additional entertainment and scrumptious refreshments.
