Generously sponsored by Oracle and PwC, the AmCham Golf Tournament celebrated its 24th anniversary at Asker Golf Club, bringing together the AmCham community with 24 teams comprised of 96 players from all sectors of Norway’s international business community to network and compete for the coveted Søderstrøm Cup and a top prize of flight vouchers to the US from Icelandair.
The tournament’s format, Texas Scramble and special hole competitions, kept golfers on their toes and ensured everyone had a great day “at work!”
Gathering for the second time at Asker’s beautiful course, the players had great fun – not letting a little rain put a damper on their competitive spirits!
In a close team competition, Bardo Foundation came in first place and walked away with the tournament cup, four round trip tickets from Icelandair to any of their US destinations, as well as prizes provided by Mondelez and AmCham whiskey glasses.
Oracle Team 1 came in second, just ahead of Helly Hansen in third. The 2nd and 3rd place winners walked away with prizes from Asker Golf Club, Thon Hotels, Google, Starbucks, Engelstad and Warner Bros Discovery. PwC Team 2 in 4th place also taking home prizes from Shades of Norway, Amerikalinjen, Helly Hansen and LUCID Motors.
As in previous years, several individual prizes were also up for grabs. Jon Kittelsen earned the “closest to the pin,” taking home a bottle of American wine courtesy of AmCham Norway along with a gift card for virtual golf at PINPIN Oslo.
DVS Air & Sea’s Daniel Magnussen captured the men’s prize for longest drive and Aker ASA’s Vibeke Elgborn won the women’s longest drive, each coming away with Eleni & Chris hair and skincare set from IC Scandinavia and a gift card for virtual golf at PINPIN Oslo.
LUCID Motors joined the players on the course with a special competition – guess how many golf balls are in the frunk of the LUCID Air. With over five thousand golf balls the closest guess and winning a weekend with the car was Trygve Gravdahl from Ræder Bing.
The tournament ended with a delicious BBQ meal on Asker Golf club’s terrace.
We would like to thank PwC and Oracle for their sponsorship and for making the 24th edition of our annual golf tournament one to remember. We would also like to thank Coca-Cola European Partners Norway for their tournament beverage sponsorship.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s tournament and 25th anniversary!
