SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Springfield Hospital hosted its 25th annual golf challenge on Oct. 2, at the Crown Point Country Club in Springfield, Vt. Proceeds from this year’s fundraising event go to the annual giving campaign, to support the renovation and purchase of equipment for the emergency department.
During this silver anniversary golf challenge, 100 tournament participants enjoyed a variety of competitions on the course, in addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play. Twenty-five thousand dollars was available on hole 18 for a hole-in-one, thanks to the Ludlow Insurance Agency. This prize was not awarded, but the weather, course conditions, and work by the staff and volunteers made for a fantastic day of golf.
