AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament 2024: Swing for a Cause

Mark your calendars and polish your golf clubs for the highly anticipated AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament 2024. It’s happening on September 20, 2024, at the prestigious Alpine Golf Club in Bangkok.

 

This exciting annual event, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) in Thailand, offers a perfect blend of competitive golf, business networking, and philanthropy, bringing together executives and golf enthusiasts for a good cause.

 

 

A Golf Tournament for a Greater Cause

While the AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament is a fantastic opportunity for members to test their skills on the green, it is also a platform for giving back to the community. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the AMCHAM Thailand Foundation (ATF) scholarship program. This initiative provides financial support to underprivileged Thai students, giving them the chance to pursue higher education and change their futures for the better. By participating, players and sponsors alike are contributing to a brighter future for these deserving students.

 

The tournament’s charitable focus makes it more than just a day on the golf course. Each swing and every putt contribute directly to empowering Thai youth through education. In a country where financial limitations can be a significant barrier to university education, this initiative is vital. The scholarships provided through the ATF have already changed countless lives, and this year’s tournament will help ensure that even more students receive the support they need.

 

The Venue: Alpine Golf Club

Located just outside Bangkok, the Alpine Golf Club is widely regarded as one of Thailand’s most challenging and scenic courses. Designed by renowned golf course architect Ron M. Garl, Alpine features rolling hills, water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers that challenge even the most experienced golfers. With its lush, manicured fairways and stunning natural landscapes, it’s no wonder Alpine Golf Club has earned a reputation as one of Thailand’s premier golfing destinations.

 

Playing at Alpine is a treat for golf lovers. The undulating greens and tricky water hazards will test both precision and strategy. However, it’s not all about competition; participants can also enjoy the camaraderie, relaxed atmosphere, and shared passion for golf. The breathtaking views and world-class facilities make this venue a perfect choice for an event of this scale and importance.

 

Tournament Format: System 36 Stableford

The AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament will follow the System 36 Stableford format. For those unfamiliar, this unique scoring system is designed to level the playing field by calculating player handicaps based on their performance on the day. The format adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability, ensuring that every golfer—regardless of skill level—has a fair shot at winning.

 

The event will feature multiple prize categories:

 

• Team Event (System 36): The team event will calculate the best two Stableford scores per hole to determine the winning team.
• Men’s Individual Event (System 36): Male golfers will compete individually, with their Stableford scores deciding the winner.
• Ladies’ Individual Event (System 36): Female golfers will also have a chance to shine, with their individual scores being used to determine the top golfer.

 

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just enjoy a casual round with friends, the System 36 format ensures everyone stays competitive. This structure also encourages team play, making it perfect for fostering new connections and deepening existing relationships among AMCHAM members.
