Chester Rotary and GMUHS Alumni Tees It High and Lets It Fly

Despite a few drops of rain, sixty-two avid golfers played in the sixth annual Chester Rotary GMUHS Alumni golf tournament held at Tater Hill on June 5, 2016. This year's tournament featured four hole-in-one prizes donated and sponsored by Keene Subaru. Although there was much discussion about winning the 2016 Impresa, Kindle e-reader, the $500 gift card and the new set of golf clubs, no one was able to sink a hole-in-one and walk away with a prize.

Dixon golf, the eco-friendly company, also ran a number of contests on the course and donated the proceeds to Chester Rotary. At registration, golfers had the option of purchasing a team mulligan bag and received a goodie-bag which included a coupon for a free golf club of their choice. After a lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers, golfers started their rounds and continued through the afternoon. In spite of a valiant effort by team Rotary, the alumni association was able to take home the trophy for their overall performance on the links.

Money raised by Rotary through fees, support by businesses in the form of raffle items and sponsorship of holes helps to support numerous community projects.
