The Marshall Foundation for Community Health’s sold-out Bob West Drive for Marshall Golf Tournament was held under beautiful skies on Friday, June 20 at Placerville’s Cold Springs Golf and Country Club. The event raised more than $209,000.
New to the 42nd annual tournament this year was the breathtaking Ball Drop sponsored by Motherlode Rock N Ready Mix. At the conclusion of the tournament, 800 balls were dropped from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Echo One helicopter, each having been purchased by a donor in advance. Balls belonging to Bob Gillett, Jens Arild, Keith Wills and Mike Thomas landed closest to the hole, and the four split the $3,000 prize. The new addition to the event raised nearly $15,000!
This year’s Fund-A-Need raised more than $20,000 to support the purchase of a ZeroG system for the new El Dorado Hills physical therapy clinic. ZeroG is a robotic body-weight support system that safely allows walking, functional activities, balance and fall prevention training in a ‘reduced gravity’ environment.
The winners of this year’s tournament were:
Net Champions (handicap): Brian Bogaard, Lynda Vernon, Jeff Vernon, and Parker Boulter
Gross Champions (nonhandicap): Phil Westphal, Eric Shaw, Wes Carson, and Cooper Westphal
