Grande Ronde Amateur roundup
The 22nd annual Grande Ronde Amateur was a big success. There
were 30 tournament sponsors and a special event sponsor who
backed a new putting contest, which generated extra donations
in addition to the two major Corporate Sponsors: Pepsi Cola
Distributors of Eastern Oregon and Legacy Motors.
This year, 72 golfers rounded out the field, including a handful
of new attendees. Just over 100 people attended the dinner and
auction. Our silent and live auctions had great participation, and
bidding activity raised over $2,800! Overall the tournament raised
$16,500 to go towards patient equipment needs in Grande Ronde
Hospital and its clinics.

Amateur at La Grande Country Club.
