⛳💖 A SOLD-OUT COMEBACK—with a little Dolly sparkle!

Wow, FunctionZ has done it again! On September 25, the ISA ISA Texas Channel Section Annual Golf Tournament returned in a BIG way. After sitting dormant following COVID, this event came back SOLD OUT with more than 32 golf teams, 12 on-course exhibitors and a tribute to Dolly Parton’s iconic “9 to 5”! ✨

We brought the experience to life with:
🎶 Live music from Robert Greaney during registration
🍹 A morning Bloody Mary and screwdriver bar
🏌️ A Beat the Pro challenge
🌮 On-course hospitality featuring fajitas, tacos, sliders and more
🎧 A DJ keeping the energy going throughout the awards luncheon

And the Dolly theme? Our teams SHOWED UP! 💕💎

From decorated golf carts to coordinated team shirts and fabulous costumes, the course was a sea of pink, diamonds and creativity as teams competed for Best Dressed Dolly Team. We think Dolly would’ve been proud!

Thank you to the sponsors, exhibitors, golfers, volunteers and ISA Texas Channel Section for helping make this comeback such a success!

At FunctionZ, we bring together strategic planning, sponsorship sales, marketing and memorable experiences to give events new life—and keep guests talking long after the last putt.

🎉 Strong customer connections. Meaningful partnerships. Event expenses covered.

That’s the value FunctionZ helps bring to your organization!

Relevant Solutions’ inaugural Oktoberfest Customer Appreciation Event & Tabletop Show at East River 9 demonstrated how strategic planning, marketing and sponsorship development can create a memorable experience while helping cover event costs.

📊 THE RESULTS:
✅ Raised support through partnerships
✅ More than 205 registered attendees, including approximately 143 pre-registered customers
✅ Approximately 152 guests attended in person
✅ 31 participating partner companies and 14 tabletop displays
✅ 72 golfers across two tournament flights
✅ 10 pickleball participants

🤝 CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER

The pre-registered customer base included representatives from companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Arkema, Baystar, Dow, Halliburton, Hargrove Engineering, Kinder Morgan, LyondellBasell, Marathon Petroleum, Next Wave Energy, NRG, Oxy, TPC, Valero and ExxonMobil.

That customer reach created valuable opportunities for partners to showcase their products, introduce solutions and build relationships.

From golf and pickleball to Oktoberfest décor, live DJ entertainment and sponsor recognition, FunctionZ helped bring the details together. Partner support also helped provide golf balls, pickleball paddles, participant gifts, awards, prizes and beverage tabs.
