The winner of the closest to the pin contest was Dave O’Neil, and the fifty-fifty putting contest was won by Steve Clark.

The tournament wrapped up with lunch at Calcuttas and a raffle, with prizes donated by event sponsors and local businesses. Sponsorship was provided by William Ravis VT Properties, Mack Molding, Mary Davis Realty and Inside Edge Rentals, Engel and Volkers, Knight Tubs, Ludlow Insurance Agency, Brewfest Beverage, Lake Rescue Association, Wadsworth Design, Okemo, Main and Mountain, Bensons Chevrolet, LaValley’s Building Supply, and more.

With final numbers still outstanding, Grover noted the tournament raised around $10,000, to be used for continuing education and certification programs for current emergency medical service providers.

Grover said they are looking forward to next year’s tournament, which has been scheduled for Monday, Oct. 2, 2023.
