Spend a day golfing and supporting a good cause this summer.
Farmington — Franklin Memorial Hospital’s 34th annual Health Care Golf Classic at the Sugarloaf Golf Club is taking place Monday, July 11. The beneficiaries are the Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County and the Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center. Both provide health services to people in need.
Monday’s featured contest is a four-person scramble and includes a continental breakfast for all players, followed by 18-holes of tournament play, a luncheon, greens fee raffles, an awards ceremony and silent auction. Prizes will be awarded to top teams in both gross and net, closest-to-the-pin contests, and men and women’s longest drives. This year’s event also features new perks to players.
The Sugarloaf Golf Club is a must-play for any golfer and provides golfers with stunning panoramic mountain views and an unforgettable experience from first tee to final putt. “This longstanding tournament has been recognized by past participants as one of the most enjoyable golfing events in Maine,” said Ryan Mastrangelo, tournament chair.
