Promoting competition and camaraderie among corporate executives
GREENSBORO, Ga. (March 14, 2018) – The inaugural Reynolds Cup presented by National Car Rental, a golf tournament for corporate executives who thrive on the competition and camaraderie that are the spirit of the game, is set for Sept. 10-12 at Reynolds Lake Oconee, the award-winning golf community and destination resort between Atlanta and Augusta.
Combining the Rees Jones-designed Oconee course with accommodations at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, guarantees the Reynolds Cup presented by National Car Rental will be a one-of-a-kind experience at a world-class venue.
Competitors and guests will be treated to three days of complete access to the unmatched amenities at Reynolds Lake Oconee, which residents and visitors alike have enjoyed for 30 years.
The Reynolds Cup presented by National Car Rental will match two-person teams from companies throughout the country to compete over 36 holes on The Oconee course in a Stableford Best Ball format.
Since 1947, presenting sponsor National Car Rental has served the rental car needs of frequent business travelers around the world. National – which launched the car rental industry’s first comprehensive frequent-renter program – further expedites the rental process through its award-winning Emerald Club by offering members counter bypass as well as access to National’s Emerald Aisle.
“Golf is the game of business,” said Rob Connors, vice president of brand marketing for National. “We’re thrilled to sponsor the Reynolds Cup, which brings together corporate leaders from industries across the country to enjoy the game in such a beautiful setting.”
