The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation has partnered with the La Grande Country Club to host another expanded version of northeast Oregon's premier golf classic with three days of opportunities to hit the fairway.

Golfers in the 22nd Grande Ronde Amateur will have the option to compete on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, Sept. 9 to 11. Golfers just need to play two out of the three days at the La Grande Country Club.

On Sunday afternoon, there will be two Sole Survivor competition divisions. One division is top ten low gross; second division next ten low gross and top ten low net paired in teams. Senior players (60 and older) can play from the shorter tees and will be eligible for the two-person Sole Survivor competition.

There will also be separate men's and women's divisions for this year's tournament. The 2016 Amateur will be one of the most widely competitive tournaments in the area!

One hundred percent of the fundraising will be dedicated toward the purchase of a new 3-D mammogram machine, the first of its kind in Eastern Oregon; as well as an advanced hematology analyzer for faster, more accurate blood tests (see "Focused on High-Tech Health Care"). The Foundation will be fundraising for these projects for the rest of the calendar year.

Please contact the Foundation if you would like to support and be involved with the Foundation's efforts or have questions about the Grande Ronde Amateur or other projects.
