There’s no better way to socialize with members, colleagues and guests than the CSI golf outing. Lost March Golf Course is a “found” treasure just 30 minutes from Chicago’s Loop. It Marsh is a shining example of brown-field reclamation, habitat restoration, and a satisfying golfing experience. This is the first year for its brand new clubhouse.

In keeping with the times, this outing is extremely economical and budget conscious. It’s back to simpler times minus the flash and heavy on “fun”.
The format is perfect for all abilities: shotgun start and best ball. There are contests for all, including the longest drive, closest to the pin, putting--and cash awards to teams, plus a wealth of raffle prizes. After 18 holes of golf, celebrate the day with a cash bar, snacks, and many raffle prizes.

Your sponsorship of a hole or event helps support CSI Chicago activities throughout the year and is positive marketing/good will for your company at very little cost. Even if you can’t attend this outing, your help will be appreciated and recognized. Prize donations and golfer giveaways are appreciated.
