SHA Golf Tournament a Swinging Success

SHA hosted its annual Swinging Fore Scholarships golf tournament on June 8, at North Ridge Country Club in Sacramento. If you were out on the course with us you already know — this year’s tournament was special. And if you couldn’t make it, you’re going to want to mark your calendar for next year!

We are excited to share that this year’s tournament raised nearly $35,000 for our scholarship program, which supports students who are pursuing careers in our hospitality community. We couldn’t have done it without the support of all our sponsors, golfers and volunteers. 

A Fresh Start at a Beautiful New Venue

One of the biggest changes this year, and one of the most talked about, was the move to North Ridge Country Club. We wanted to elevate the experience, and this course delivered in every way. The fairways were impeccable, the views were stunning, and the entire facility and their staff brought a new energy to our tournament.

None of This Happens Without Our Sponsors
