GRMC Hosts 25th Annual Gold Tournament

Grinnell Regional Medical Center invites the public to its 25th annual golf outing on Friday, June 27, at the Grinnell Golf and Country Club. The public is welcome to register to golf in the morning at this milestone event. Proceeds from this year’s outing will support the Moving at the Speed of Life comprehensive campaign.
For the 2014 tournament, a $5,000 Hole-in-One contest has been added, courtesy of Ramsey Weeks, Inc. Special 25th anniversary golf items will be given to each golfer.
The top flight of three teams will split $1,000, with the best team taking home $500, and the next two teams earning $300 and $200. An additional three flights of three teams will also be awarded prizes of $100. Every hole has a contest or special event. The course is challenging and fun with well-positioned bunkers and hazards. Lined with mature trees and beautiful landscapes, the course sets the perfect backdrop for a great day of golf.
“Over the past 25 years, we’ve raised more than $300,000 for the medical center from the golf outing. This has been an awesome event to support the hospital and have a lot of fun with the community and GRMC’s business partners,” says Todd C. Linden, GRMC president and CEO, and Chamber board member.  “This year, as in the past two years, we will partner with the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce. 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. The 2013 winning team members were Dr. Nick Kuiper, Shane Hart, Dr. Jeff Millet, and Devin Wells. GRMC will also award the “Best Dressed” and “Most Obnoxiously Dressed” titles to individuals.
Entry fee for the tournament is $85 per person and cart rental is $30. A four-person team with two cart rentals may register for $400. Registration deadline is June 20.
The 25th edition of the annual GRMC golf tournament will include special contests, prizes, and giveaways to commemorate the anniversary.
