The Parkview Whitley Foundation Golf Classic raised more than $14,000 on July 15 to help provide medication assistance for Whitley County residents.
“Except for about an hour of thunderstorms, we had an excellent day for the foundation’s annual outing and a great turnout of 27 teams,” said foundation director Candice Yeakle.
A team captained by Todd Sider, MD, posted a low score of 54 in the men’s competition at the 22nd annual event at Eel River Golf Course in Churubusco. The other foursome members were Dick Moake, Lee Cutting and Chad Williams.
Parkview Whitley Hospital Surgical Manager Donna Shook, RN, captained the team of Harry Shook, Howard Mossing and Bill Beymer, posting a score of 59 to take first place in the mixed/women’s division in the Florida scramble-format outing.
Brian Ray was the winner of the gentlemen’s longest drive contest, Bruce Molter had the longest putt and Jim Haugel was closest to the pin with his second shot. Autumn Ray won the ladies’ longest drive contest.
Proceeds from the golf outing will benefit Parkview Whitley’s medication assistance program.
