HODC 15th annual Golf Tournament fundraiser raises record-breaking funds | Local News

Golfers from 29 teams registered to compete in the tournament, which included opportunities for additional activities. Jeff Crittenden, two-time winner of the World Long Drive Masters Division Championship, offered demonstrations and assistance to teams. Sapona Club staff facilitated putting, long drive and closest-to-pin contests.

The winning team of Richard Strickland, Gary Younts, Adam Younts and BT Warford inaugurated what is expected to become a tradition of sporting a bright, lime-green blazer during the ceremony to celebrate the victory.

The second-place team of John Christian Luxury Real Estate consisted of John Beck, Jacob May, Lanny Hedrick and Jordan Hedrick.

Additional tournament winners were Mike Nance (putting contest winner) and Ryan Budwine (long drive and closest-to-pin winner).

“The day was a rousing success in every sense,” said Christina Davenport, director of Community Relations. “It’s amazing to see so many sponsors, participants, and volunteers come together to support us. While many people are hesitant to talk about death and dying, we believe everyone deserves local, expert, and compassionate end-of-life care. And this event shows our community supports us in this pursuit.”
