July 13, 2017 |
It was wet, but Josh Figgins and Matt Odd played
through the rain to win the Fry Healthcare
Foundation’s ninth annual Fry Healthcare
Foundation Golf Tournament held on Friday, June
16, at Mirror Lake Golf Course in Bonners Ferry.
The players teed off to a shotgun start at noon
and played 18 holes of golf, sometimes in
monsoon conditions.
Travis Delaney and Scott Rynearson captured
second place with third place taken by Dick
Staples and Dave Anderson.
Longest Drive for Men was Travis Delaney, and
Longest Drive for Women was Wendy Hawks. Bill
Gutnecht made the Longest Putt and Jamie Porter
was Closest to the Pin. No one managed to make a
hole-in-one on hole #8, which was sponsored by
Boundary Tractor, although several made it to
the green.
Sponsors for the tournament included Idaho
Forest Group, Yellowstone Insurance Exchange,
Gardiner Prime Angus Ranch, Blanche Studer and
Elaine Morgan, Edward Jones Investments, Craig
and Donna Johnson, J. B.’s Tire and Automotive,
Fousts Inc. Logging Contractors, E-Enterprises,
and Riverside Auto Center.
Auburn Crest Hospice, Janice Claridge and Rick
Lozoya, Selkirk Press, Bonners Ferry Living
Local, Super 1 Foods, Ralph Lotspieck, Boundary
Electric and Dixon Golf provided donations and
prizes.
Life Flight Network and Pro-X Home Center
donated a Traeger Grill that was awarded to
Cathy Thaxton, the winner of the Great Golf Ball
Drop.
The funds raised at this year’s tournament were
used to purchase a Nu-Step Recumbent Cross
Trainer for the Rehabilitation Services
Department at Boundary Community Hospital.
According to physical therapist Petra Timmermans,
“The Nu-Step Trainer is wonderful for early
rehabilitation of knee and hip surgeries because
it allows for small movements, unlike a
stationary bike where the knee and hip have to
be able to flex over 90 degrees to make a full
revolution. Patients are in total control of the
movement and especially after surgery, it
decreases the fear of pain. They are able to
gradually increase the range of the movement at
their own pace.” |
