On September 12, 2024, the American Chamber of Commerce in Zambia (AmCham) proudly hosted its annual Golf Day at the Lusaka Golf Club, an event that drew business leaders, corporate teams, and golf enthusiasts alike. The day provided not only a platform for sportsmanship but also an avenue for critical networking and business exchanges, making it a highly anticipated occasion on AmCham’s event calendar.
This year’s AmCham Golf Day was a resounding success, with all team slots selling out well ahead of time, underscoring the event’s popularity. Participants enjoyed a full day of friendly competition, skillful play, and valuable interactions, all while enjoying the camaraderie that has become a hallmark of the AmCham Golf Day.
Celebrating Our Valued Sponsors
The event would not have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors, whose contributions helped elevate the event to new heights. AmCham is proud to recognize the following sponsors for their crucial support:
- Platinum Sponsors: Coca-Cola and Obmac Systems, whose long-standing commitment to the event ensured a stellar experience for all participants.
- Gold Sponsors: Pound Stretcher, Sanlam, Prudential Life Assurance, and The Quorum, who contributed significantly to the success of the event and demonstrated their dedication to fostering business collaboration within the AmCham community.
Each of these sponsors played an integral role in creating an environment where business professionals could connect and engage in a setting that promoted both networking and relaxation. Their support also contributed to the inclusion of various amenities, ensuring a fun and fulfilling day for both golfers and non-golfers.
A Day for Golfers and Non-Golfers Alike
While the golf course was abuzz with competition, non-golfers were equally entertained through a variety of activities tailored to their preferences. AmCham hosted a beginners’ Golf Class, offering members the chance to get hands-on experience and learn the basics of the sport. The inclusive nature of the event provided multiple avenues for participation, reinforcing AmCham’s commitment to engaging with the wider community.
Networking Opportunities on the Green
Beyond the sport, the Golf Day was a powerful platform for networking. Business leaders had the chance to connect in an informal setting, fostering collaboration and future partnerships. The conversations that took place off the fairways were just as impactful as the swings on the greens, providing ample opportunities for members to discuss business strategies, form new alliances, and explore avenues for growth.
Looking Forward
As we reflect on the success of this year’s Golf Day, we’re already looking forward to making the 2025 edition even more memorable. AmCham remains dedicated to creating events that not only provide recreational value but also serve as key touchpoints for business development and community building.
To all those who participated, and to our invaluable sponsors, thank you for making the 2024 AmCham Golf Day an outstanding success. We look forward to welcoming you to more exciting events in the coming months, including our highly anticipated Thanksgiving Dinner in November.
