Hospital event breaks par     Send a link to a friend

By Jeff Mayfield

[JUNE 30, 2004]  Normally news of this nature would be included in our weekly sports coverage. However, because we are proud of our local hospital and because we believe that we are blessed to have such a quality health care institution in our community, we decided to give their recent outing some "bonus" coverage.

The annual event attracts the best golfers from our area, and this year's round was no different. With several teams jockeying for position, one of the stellar foursomes would eventually emerge on top. The "Friends of ALMH," consisting of John Welsh, Larry Engle, Dale Spore and Chuck "Paco" Taylor, fired a 15-under for a sparkling score of 56.

There was a three-way logjam at second, and so the ol' scorecard playoff was employed. That enabled Lincoln College's team of Jeff Nelson, Tom Redding, Tony Moore and John Stoltzenberg to claim the second-place prize. The others at 12-under-par 59 were Brad Neal and Associates, comprised of Brad Neal, Eric Graue, and Nan and Dave Lockenour; and, Graue Inc., which was made up of Robin Patton, Jan Bowers, Brad Nikles and Jason Fitzpatrick.

A total of 32 teams vied for the title, and this year's event raised a whopping $16,300 for the Rural Health Partnership's Mobile Health Unit. I think it is easy to see why this event breaks par and is definitely a birdie or eagle event!
