Hype will host an unconventional, nine-hole golf outing at Greenwood Hills Country Club & Event Center on Wednesday, Aug. 23. The Mad Ball Scramble will offer fun and friendly competition for golfers of all skill levels and non-golfers. Last year’s Mad Ball Scramble brought together young professionals from a variety of industries and this year’s event will again mix twosomes and individual golfers into teams to maximize the networking impact of the event.

The event will include various hole activities, including a dizzy putt on hole number one, golfers driving from the side opposite their natural swing on hole number three and teeing off Happy Gilmore-style on hole number four. Hole eight will challenge participants with an obstacle course. Other holes will offer a chance to putt with a croquet mallet and an opportunity to tee off using a padded club.

hype is a workforce development initiative of the Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce aimed at attracting, retaining and meeting the needs of young professionals (ages 21 to 45). hype promotes young professionals, highlighting their achievements, inspiring them to further connect with the community and developing them personally and professionally.

The event is open to young professionals from around central Wisconsin and the cost is $110 for a twosome or $60 for an individual golfer. For more information or to register for this event, visit WausauChamber.com. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for this event.
