Posted on 8/13/2014
Springfield, VT - The leaves on the trees will soon be turning color. What better time of year to play golf, and what better place than Okemo Valley Golf Club in Ludlow, Vermont. Add in a great cause and you have the 14th annual Springfield Hospital Challenge golf tournament on Thursday, September 18.
Besides the amenities of this beautiful golf course, golfers in this premier tournament receive a special gift in addition to a box lunch at registration, complimentary refreshments on the course, and a post-event buffet. This year every golfer will receive a tournament golf towel and a canvas golf hat. The towel is the same one that was given to players in the 2014 Masters Tournament at Augusta.
A and B flights ensure that golfers compete at their own level and increase the number of winning teams. Gift certificates to Okemo’s pro shop are awarded to more than 1 out of every 4 golfers in the tournament.
There are hole-in-one prizes on all par 3 holes, including a new vehicle. A putting contest is a chance to win a cash prize plus there are prizes for longest putt and straightest drive. Raffles make sure that everyone goes home a winner.
A four-player scramble, the Springfield Hospital Challenge has a shotgun start at 12:30 pm on Thursday, September 18. Players can enter as a team or as individuals. The entry fee for this fundraiser is $150 per person.
For sponsors, the event offers an opportunity to raise funds for the important services of Springfield Hospital, while also providing valuable exposure. Sponsorship packages range in size and value. Proceeds from this year's tournament will be used to support enhancements currently underway in the Hospital’s Emergency Department.
Spaces are filling up fast, so act soon. To enter or sponsor this year’s Springfield Hospital Challenge, contact Larry Kraft at 802-885-7644 or lkraft@springfieldmed.org. ###
Ludlow???
ReplyDeleteSupport your local golf course and restaurants! This is rediculous! Same thing with the fireworks!!! GTFOH
ReplyDeleteThis has been in Ludlow for years and you are just realizing this now?
DeleteSpringfield Hospital serves all the towns around including Ludlow so they are supporting a local golf course and restaurant.
ReplyDeletePoint taken.
DeleteThey probably thought it would be "safer" to hold the tournament in Ludlow, anyway! Most of the trendy donors would likely prefer a more touristy locale, too! For the sake of the cause, let's all hope it raises a bundle of cash!
