Golf tourney boosts Adirondack Health’s Future of Care Campaign

LAKE PLACID – The threat of thunderstorms never materialized, and the 21st Adirondack Health Foundation Golf Tournament raised $35,000 for the Future of Care Campaign on July 22.

The Future of Care Campaign was launched to raise $12 million toward the $35 million total project cost to build a modern surgical services department in Saranac Lake and a new Health and Medical Fitness building in Lake Placid.

This year’s tournament was a different format than in years past with about 132 golfers spread out between the Links Course and Mountain Course at the Crowne Plaza Resort & Golf Club.

On the Links Course, Flight 1 winners, after settling a three-way tie, was the CDPHP team of Bill Defransesco, Ein Marquis, Mike Spicer and Thomas Stransky. Individual awards were given out for Closest to the Pin to Chip Wheeler; Men’s Longest Drive to Rob Kane and Women’s Longest Drive to Maddie Rocque.

On the Mountain Course, Flight 2 winners, after settling a two-way tie, were the team of David Christopher, Dr. John Decker, George Gregory and Ryan Harte. Individual prizes were given out for Closest to the Pin to state Sen. Betty Little, Men’s Longest Drive to Chad Owen, and Women’s longest Drive to Janelle Bennett.

There were other, non-golf winners as well. Julie Connors of NBT Bank won the 50-50 raffle, Tom Woodman won a golf umbrella and a round of golf for four with cart at Craig Wood Golf Course, and Paul Maroun won the drawing for a new Callaway driver.
