The 15th annual Ed Kuntz Memorial Golf Tournament was held June 20 at Great Life Golf and Fitness in Abilene.  Fourteen teams participated with challenges and prizes awarded for every hole.  Cash prizes were awarded to the top three teams in each flight. Gunnar Kickhaefer, Brooks Beeton, Parker Erickson, and Chris Kremeier were the first flight champions. The first place team in the second flight included Brad Bowers, Tim Horan, Todd Heitschmidt, and Barry Bowers.  The team winning the third flight included Adam Henry, Ben Trible, Josh Bell, and Jason Huff.

The winner of this year’s “Golf Ball Drop” was Rick Prout.  A total of 335 golf balls were dropped this year.  Prout’s winning ball did not make it into the hole, but was the closest to the hole, coming within five inches.  The total raised from the ball drop was $1675, of which the winner received half and Hospice of Dickinson County received the other half. 

Hospice of Dickinson County is a local non-profit organization that accepts all hospice patients that meet criteria regardless of ability to pay.  This golf tournament is spearheaded by the Ed Kuntz family and the proceeds are donated to Hospice of Dickinson County for Hospice patient services.

Hospice of Dickinson County and the Kuntz family thank all sponsors and participants for their support.
