⛳ 64 people. 16 foursomes. The 4th annual IESNYC Golf Outing.

North Hempstead Country Club was the place to be as our NYC lighting and design community came together for 18 holes of friendly competition, connection, and a chance to connect away from the office.

Lighting designers, architects, developers, electrical engineers, manufacturers, and manufacturer representatives took to the course to compete for team score, longest drive, and closest to the pin. After a day of golf, everyone came together for a BBQ lunch, contest prizes, and the 50/50 raffle.

Beyond the competition, the outing is a great reminder of the value of bringing our industry together—and it helps support IESNYC’s programming throughout the year.

Thank you to our event and hole sponsors and everyone who joined us. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
