Cadwalader was delighted to co-sponsor this week's second annual golf outing at Dyker Beach Golf Course in Brooklyn, New York. The event was conceived of, planned and orchestrated by Kristin Castellanos, head of fund finance at TriState Capital Bank, and was sponsored by TriState Capital, Assured Guaranty, Cadwalader and Women in Fund Finance.
After last year’s super successful inaugural outing (which sold out in less than 10 minutes), we doubled the size this year and had 63 golfers in attendance with 50 of them being true beginners, some of whom had never held a club before. The event was open to golfers of all experience levels and was an opportunity to get women out on the golf course to try their hand at golf in a fun, supportive and friendly environment. Kudos to our pro and the experienced golfers in the group – who were all fund finance bankers and lawyers – for helping and encouraging the newer golfers and making the day such a fun one.
It was truly fun to see so many women out there getting comfortable – and even a little competitive – out on the course. Some amazing connections were forged as the expert golfers supported the beginners and the beginners cheered one another on.
This feels like the start of a tradition and team CWT couldn’t be prouder. Thanks to Kristin for organizing and to our co-sponsors for supporting this fun and awesome event.
