Republic Title Classic

Republic Title recently hosted its second annual golf tournament, The Republic Title Classic, which was a huge success! The event took place on April 3rd at Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas and was attended by dozens of enthusiastic golfers.

The day started off with a delicious breakfast, which was followed by a shotgun start. Participants were grouped into teams of four and played a round of golf on the beautiful Bent Tree Course. The tournament used a scramble format, which allowed players of all skill levels to compete and enjoy the game.

After the round, players enjoyed a reception at the country club while the scores were tallied. The top teams were recognized with prizes and awards, but more than that it was about spending the day with our amazing customers, industry colleagues and sponsors.

The event was not only a fun day on the golf course, but it was also an opportunity for Republic Title to bring people together and strengthen relationships within the community. We even had a hole-in-one from one of the tournament players! A special thank you to our fantastic sponsors, Black Tie Moving, Gordan Highlander, First United Mortgage, CBG Surveying and Sport City Toyota. Thank you for your partnership!

Republic Title’s golf tournament was a great success, and everyone who participated had a wonderful time. It was a great way to enjoy a beautiful day on the golf course and connect with others in the community. We can’t wait to see what Republic Title has in store for next year’s tournament!
