GRMC Golf Tournament Set for Friday, June 28

Grinnell Regional Medical Center will hold a golf tournament on Friday, June 28, in partnership with and the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce. This is the second year for this joint golf outing between the two non-profits.

For the 2013 tournament, a top prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the lowest scoring team. Flight prizes will be awarded as well as pin event prizes. The tournament will be held at the Grinnell Golf and Country Club, with tee off times of 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

“I can’t tell you how important a vibrant first-rate hospital is to our economic vitality,” says Angela Harrington, executive director of the Grinnell Chamber of Commerce. “Easy access to quality healthcare is critical to attracting and retaining business, industry, workforce, and residents. The work done by both the chamber and the hospital benefits the entire area.”

 “This golf tournament continues to be such an excellent friend-raiser for GRMC and the Chamber,” says Todd C. Linden, GRMC president and CEO, and Chamber board member.  “We welcome all area golfers to join in the fun. I haven’t missed an outing since I came to GRMC 20 years ago. We believe the partnership with the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce makes sense for both organizations. We enjoy bringing together businesses and individuals who support the community and hospital.” 

 The format is a four-player, best shot tournament. A special recognition award will be given to the Poweshiek County team with the lowest score, as local teams compete for bragging rights.

Entry fee for the tournament is $85 per person and cart rental is $30. A four-person team with a cart rental may register for $400. Registration deadline is June 20.

This is the 24^th time GRMC has hosted a golf outing that is rooted in traditions and long-term relationships yet each year offers new event challenges and prizes.

 “Our sponsors have been wonderful as we continue this longstanding tradition in Grinnell.  I want to thank them for their support of the medical center and the Grinnell chamber of commerce,” Linden says.
