2025 Legends of Advertising Golf Tournament

From the Boise Advertising Federation:

Legends of Advertising Golf Tournament

It’s Not a Day Off. It’s a Sanctioned Golf Outing.

It’s that time of year — when skipping work to play golf isn’t just allowed, it’s encouraged (and maybe even paid for by your boss). The Legends of Advertising Golf Tournament is your officially sanctioned day on the course with fellow creatives, marketers, media pros, and maybe even the client. We’ll raise a toast to the icons of Idaho advertising and raise funds for the students coming up next. Whether you’re out to win or just working on your short game, it’s always a good day to be “OOO.”

🏌️‍♀️ New to Golf? No Problem.

This tournament is a scramble format — which means you play as a team and always take the best shot from your group. You don’t have to be good at golf (or even average). As long as one person in your group can hit the ball straight once in a while, you’re in the game. It’s fun, relaxed, and designed for maximum laughs and minimal pressure.

⏰ Event Timeline

Boise Advertising Federation's Legends of Advertising Golf Tournament

If you haven’t already heard, it’s that time of year again. The Boise Advertising Federation is hosting the 2012 Legends of Advertising golf tournament.

This year, the tournament will be held on Thursday, September 13th at Shadow Valley Golf Course. It is also being held about a month earlier than in years past, which should help with weather issues that the tournament has run into in the past.

Costs for the tournament are:

  • Single player: $65.00
  • Foursome: $260
  • Foursome plus hole sponsorship: $450

All entries include a barbecue following the tournament. Additional details are below. Online registration is available on the BAF’s website.
