AASP/MA Returns to the Green in September

AASP/MA surely set the course for a productive 2022. With a strong legislative push for labor rate reimbursement reform and efforts to right the wrongs of the ADALB progressing further than ever before, it’s been quite a successful year thus far. Now, the association and its supporters are getting ready for the next course on deck – the golf course!

Every September, AASP/MA gathers the automotive community on the green for a fun day of camaraderie, networking and friendly competition! And this year is no different. After their very successful 2021 event at the Heritage Country Club, AASP/ MA decided to host their annual fundraising event at the same location this year, and shop owners, vendors and other automotive supporters from all over the state are polishing off their clubs and getting ready to head to Charlton on September 14.

The annual event is a chance for shop owners to take a break from the hectic day-to-day and enjoy some time with colleagues in a leisurely game of golf. The annual outing also serves as AASP/MA’s main fundraiser with proceeds supporting their work year round – especially in regard to fighting for change at the State level where the push is needed most.

Golfers can expect the same level of competition, exciting contests and a mouth-watering steak dinner that last year’s event had to offer.

The ball drop will once again kick off this year’s tournament. Last year, a sea of golfers stood wide-eyed as a crane hoisted AASP/ MA Executive Director Lucky Papageorg into the air, so he could drop individually numbered balls onto the green – the one which measured closest to the pin claimed $500 for its owner! This year, the stakes may be even higher! Come to the event, purchase one ball for $20 or three balls for $40, and cross your fingers that one of your balls will be the winner!

In addition to cash prizes, golfers will have a shot at winning various items, such as bluetooth speakers, coolers, sports event tickets and thensome, through the multiple hole-in-one contests set up on the course, allowing golfers to truly put their skills to the test.

Don’t golf? No problem! Non-golfers can still take part in the fun by coming by to assist throughout the day and join colleagues for dinner following the tournament – the meal is something the entire crew at the shop can take part in once the tournament is finished on the course - a great way to thank your crew for a job well done.

AASP/MA would not be able to make this event such a success without its generous sponsors. Last year, every hole and hole-in-one sponsor received an exclusive commemorative flag featuring their company logo. Commemorative flags exclusive to this year’s event will be offered, so don’t wait too long to sponsor a hole or a hole-inone contest!

Check in will begin promptly at 7:30am, and the festivities will kick off with the ball drop taking place at 10am, followed by the Shotgun Start. Then golfers will take to their carts and hit the green until it is time to head back with their completed score cards to enjoy grilled steak and refreshments. And thanks to the various items donated by generous participants and vendors, along with this year’s raffle prizes and the 50/50, just about no one will go home empty handed!
