UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash., July 8, 2008 – KemperSports today announced Jamie Fay as sales and marketing director of Chambers Bay, the nationally acclaimed links-style golf course awarded the 2010 U.S. Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open Championships. In this role, Fay will be responsible for steering sales and marketing initiatives and programs for the course that opened in June 2007 just outside of Tacoma in University Place, Wash.
Fay, a graduate of Tacoma’s University of Puget Sound, brings nearly six years of experience in coordinating and executing golf and tournament outings. Prior to Chambers Bay, Fay served as marketing and special events manager at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore., also managed by KemperSports. During his term at the Pacific Northwest destination, he played an integral role in numerous premier events, including the 2006 Curtis Cup Match and 2007 U.S. Mid-Amateur, a pair of USGA championships.
“We’re excited to have Jamie on board,” said KemperSports’ Matt Allen, general manager of Chambers Bay. “His marketing and events experience, particularly at a resort the caliber of Bandon Dunes, will be key as we prepare for the upcoming USGA championships at Chambers Bay.”
Fay, a native of Vancouver, Wash, currently resides in Tacoma.
Situated just outside of Tacoma and less than an hour south of Seattle, Chambers Bay offers one of the most unique recreational opportunities on the West Coast, offering panoramic views of Puget Sound, neighboring islands and the Olympic Mountains.
