We offer our many thanks to the participants, sponsors and door prize donors of the Corrections Foundation’s golf tournament last Thursday. The tournament was held at SouthWood Golf Club in Tallahassee and welcomed 112 golfers from around the state.
It was a pleasure to meet many of the Departments employees as they came together to raise funds for the Employee Assistance Program and other Foundation initiatives serving DC employees. We wish to thank Secretary McDonough for his support of this event and Deputy Secretary Dr. Bedard, Chief of Staff Mr. Prudom and all the leadership staff for their support and participation in this year’s tournament. It was a beautiful day for golf!
The grand prize hole for a hole-in-one was sponsored by Pro Tech Monitoring and although there was not a grand prize winner many came very close to taking home a beautiful 2007 Ford Mustang. The Closest to the Hole (10’ 6”) winner was Dr. Newton of Lake Correctional Institution and the Longest Drive winner was Dustin Taylor of Central Office.
Congratulations to these teams on their impressive scores.
