On May 7, the West Houston Association hosted its 6th Annual Rising Leaders Topgolf Tournament – an event that soared to new heights and left participants buzzing with excitement! Organized by Rising Leaders Class 10, the sell-out event attracted over 200 professionals from various industries across the Greater Houston region. We would like to give a special thanks to our 2026 Title Sponsor, HD Outdoor Construction!
The day kicked off with a warm welcome at check-in, where attendees were greeted with refreshing drinks, sizzling fajitas, and the unmistakable buzz of community in action. The relaxed and festive setting made for the perfect start—blending casual conversation with the promise of competition and connection.
Laughter and handshakes filled the air as WHA members, both new and seasoned, and other guests, mingled across industries and interests. Whether discussing quality developments over a cold beer or catching up with colleagues over a white claw, the pre-tournament atmosphere reflected exactly what WHA is all about: building relationships that strengthen our region.
A huge thanks to Rising Leader Paulina Baker, who welcomed everyone and served as our emcees. They set the tone and helped guide everyone through the day’s activities. Following a quick orientation from the Topgolf pros, the tournament officially launched. Teams took their swings with a mix of strategy and swagger, embracing every challenge with enthusiasm. Across the bays, players cheered one another on, exchanged playful jabs, and celebrated each well-earned score.
Spectators and supporters lined the bays, snapping photos, sharing encouragement, and creating a lively backdrop of cheers and applause. The camaraderie was undeniable, turning competition into community and making every participant—player or not—feel part of something bigger.
As the tournament progressed, the competition grew fierce. Ultimately, the top-performing golfers were celebrated with awards and recognition, honoring their exceptional performance. Congratulations to R Construction Company for winning 1st Place! Hot on their heels was LJA earning a well-deserved 2nd Place, and bringing home 3rd Place was DNT Construction.
Thank you to our sponsors for making the event tee-rific!
