Registration Opens May 19 for WCMA Golf Outing & Trap Shoot

It's time for Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) members to mark their calendars and set their alarms for Tuesday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. (CT), when registration opens for the popular WCMA Golf Outing and Trap Shoot! Details on registration and sponsorship are available now at WisCheeseMakers.org for one of the industry’s favorite events, set for Wednesday, July 22 in central Wisconsin. 

“The WCMA Golf Outing & Trap Shoot is, without a doubt, the highlight of the summer for dairy processors. With more than 800 attendees each year and a range of outdoor activities to choose from, it’s the most fun you'll have networking,” said WCMA Executive Director John Umhoefer. “This event sells out quickly, so be ready to register at 10 a.m. sharp on May 19.” 

This year’s event includes the second annual WCMA Pickleball Tournament, where both new and seasoned pickleball players compete in a lively round-robin tournament.  Twenty-four players will meet at Lake Arrowhead’s Pines Course before heading to the Lake Arrowhead Chalet Courts, located a short drive from the golf course. Registration for the tournament includes instruction, paddle and ball use, a participant gift, and skill prizes. 

Meanwhile, golfers will enjoy a scramble tournament at one of five courses near Nekoosa, Wisconsin: Bullseye Golf Club, Northern Bay Resort, Lake Arrowhead’s Lakes and Pines Courses, and The Ridges Golf Course. Each golfer’s registration fee covers their golf cart, greens fees, range balls, participant gifts, skill and winner prizes. WCMA will build foursomes for individual golf registrants, and the total number of golfers is capped at 720. 

Up to 120 trapshooters will gather for WCMA’s concurrent event at the nearby Wisconsin Trapshooting Association (WTA) Homegrounds facility. Individual shooting and group challenges will begin at 12:00 p.m. No license is needed, and novice trapshooters will receive personal instruction from WTA volunteers. Participants are encouraged to bring their own shotgun, as limited quantities are available for day use. 

All attendees will enjoy a complimentary lunch. After a day of fun and networking, golfers, trapshooters, and pickleball players will reconvene at the Lake Arrowhead Clubhouse to enjoy the Amcor Social Hour and a buffet dinner. 

High-visibility sponsorships are also available now at WisCheeseMakers.org. Don’t wait to take advantage of these affordable, impactful marketing opportunities: WCMA will hold up to 12 golfer spots for companies that secure Premier Level sponsorships before May 15! All sponsorship questions can be directed to WCMA Expo & Conference Director Caitlin Peirick at cpeirick@wischeesemakers.org. 

Complete details, including registration options and FAQs, are available at WisCheeseMakers.org. General questions about the event may be directed to events@wischeesemakers.org.
