Holyoke Medical Center’s ‘Golf Fore Health’ Slated for Sept. 22

HOLYOKE — If you’re looking to stay in the swing of things this fall, check out the 26th annual “Golf Fore Health” tournament sponsored by Holyoke Medical Center. The event will take place Monday, Sept. 22 at the Springfield Country Club in West Springfield and the Orchards Golf Club in South Hadley.

The traditional post-tournament cocktail party, with stations, awards ceremony, and auction, will be held at the Springfield Country Club. As in years past, Dave Madsen and Scott Coen will inject their humor into the event as co-masters of ceremonies for the cocktail party, which starts at 4:30 p.m. The proceeds for this year’s event will again benefit Holyoke Medical Center’s Emergency Department project.

The golf tournament is run in a scramble format and starts at 11:30 a.m. The $660 entry fee per foursome includes an 18-hole round of golf, golf cart, participant gift, team photo, lunch, refreshments, and cocktail party. If you’re not a golfer but still want to enjoy a fun night, tickets for the cocktail party at Springfield Country Club can be purchased for $40, which includes food stations, live and silent auctions, door prizes, a raffle, and the award ceremony.

Sponsorship opportunities are available in a variety of options. In addition, the committee is looking for desirable items for both the live and silent auctions. Emerald sponsors for this year’s event include Goss & McLain Insurance Agency and R. Gopal Malladi, M.D. The Gold sponsor is Atlantic Charter Insurance Co., and Silver sponsors include BLUE Benefit Administrators of Massachusetts, the O’Connell Companies, and Coverys and Jefferson Radiology. Bronze sponsors include Falcetti & Clark Electrical Supply, Bulkley Richardson, People’s United Bank, and Barr & Barr.
