Springfield Hospital
Springfield Hospital hosted its 23rd Annual Golf Challenge on September 14th at the Crown Point Country Club, Springfield, Vermont. Proceeds from this year’s fundraising event go to the annual giving campaign to support Diagnostic Imaging and other medical equipment.
Ninety-two tournament participants enjoyed a variety of competitions on the course in addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play. A new GMC truck was up for grabs for a hole-in-one on hole 18, thanks to Springfield Buick GMC Cadillac; and ten thousand dollars was available on hole 5 for a hole-in-one, thanks to the Ludlow Insurance Agency. Those two prizes were not awarded, but the weather, course conditions, and work by the staff and volunteers made for a fantastic day of golf.
