This past weekend marked the 4th annual Intelex Spring Classic! Equipped with Intelex branded golf balls and tees, over 60 Intelexians made the trip to Ajax where we invaded the Deer Creek Golf Course. The bus unloaded at noon and a fleet of carts awaited the group. With the assistance of the Deer Creek staff (keeping the excited group organized), the tournament began!
The foursomes took off into two separate courses. The skill level varied from very-first-timers to seasoned golfers, allowing everybody to take part. Each team was divided evenly based on their experience but also by work department – the best part about these events is getting to know people you may not get a chance to spend time with at the office.
While the ultimate goal is to have a great time golfing in the sun with fellow employees, some friendly competition always spices things up. Notable accomplishments from the day include:

And an honorable mention to Elie Mouzon for his musical performance!
After 18 holes of golf and 5 hours in the sun, the dinner at the clubhouse was welcomed by all. Stories were shared between teams over chicken fingers and nachos and the evening wrapped up with a raffle. (Would it be an Intelex event without one?) The much deserving Lauren Craig walked away with a night for two at the JW Marriott and the winning foursome was awarded their trophy.
It’s safe to say Intelexians were spoiled once again with another memorable employee event! Congratulations to all of the winners, beginners, and golf veterans for a successful day on the course.
