BRANDON — On Sunday, Sept. 16, at Neshobe Golf Club in Brandon, Arnie Bartlett hit a hole-in-one at the 2018 Friends of Middlebury Hockey golf tournament to win $15,000. The award was sponsored by Paquette Inc., a long-time supporter of Middlebury Hockey.
The annual tournament is a fund-raiser held by Friends of Middlebury Hockey and supports Middlebury’s Memorial Sports Center.
Friends and families from throughout the community enjoyed a beautiful morning at Neshobe, lost a few golf balls, and raised funds to help support youth hockey in Addison County. The winning team from Pratt’s Store consisted of Corey Pratt, Laurie Pratt, Jerry Kennedy and Heidi Kennedy. Second place went to Team Newton, comprised of Kevin and Dylan Newton, Don Keeler and Dean George.
In addition to traditional golfing challenges, organizers gave out prizes for Longest Drive with Hockey Gloves (winner Tim Howlett) and Longest Putt with Hockey Stick (Dan Mac).
