The 46th annual MaineHealth Memorial Hospital Golf Open took center stage at the Wentworth Golf Club in Jackson on July 16. The tournament was founded in 1980 by former Congressman Bill Zeliff and Jackson businessman Lee Harmon. Then and now, the goal for the tournament was to raise some funds for the hospital, while having fun at the same time. The event has raised over $1 million over its long history, purchasing many pieces of life-saving equipment and supporting community health programs.

See the Club Notes for results, but the real winner on the day was our community. Thanks to golfers and sponsors, more than $50,000 was raised, according to Timothy Kershner, director of communications and public affairs at Memorial, to be used to support the Mary Vigeant NP Scholarship, honoring the outgoing chair of the Hospital’s Medical Staff.
