The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is delighted to host a business breakfast for Chamber Members on the first day of the event. Attendees will enjoy a networking breakfast before hearing from our guest speaker, Stephen Loftus, CEO of Wattbike

Due to a limited ticket allocation, this event is limited to two employees per business.

DACC Members will be joined by members of Fife Chamber of Commerce to allow for some additional networking opportunities.

After the event, attendees will have the opportunity to head out onto the fairways and watch the professional golfers and their amateur partners start day one of the Championship. And maybe some celebrity spotting!
