Morris Hospital Auxiliary hosts annual golf outing Sept. 23

The Morris Hospital Auxiliary is hosting its annual golf outing starting with registration from 11 a.m. to noon Monday, Sept. 23 at The Creek golf course in Morris.

All proceeds will benefit the Morris Hospital Patient Transportation and LifeLine programs. The cost for golf, lunch, and dinner costs $150 a person or $540 for a foursome.

The outing is open to the public, who can support the event by playing golf, attending dinner or buying tickets for the helicopter golf ball drop for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize.

Golfing begins at noon, and players will play 18 holes of golf. Those who do not want to golf can still attend the dinner for $25 a person. It includes a buffet reception with pulled pork, coleslaw, rolls and butter, roasted potatoes, corn and dessert. Dinner begins at 5 p.m.

The helicopter ball drop will be at 5:30 p.m., when 200 numbered golf balls drop from the helicopter. The ball closest to the hole will win $1,000. Balls cost $20 for one, $50 for three or $100 for seven. Participants do not need to be present to win.
