The eighth annual St. Anthony Golf Classic was held on Monday, June 19, 2006 at the Carroll Country Club Golf Course. Funds raised from the event totaled $45,710 which will be used to support education, recruitment and retention of healthcare employees. Over the past eight years more than $305,000 has been raised through St. Anthony’s annual golf outing for hospital projects. An exciting moment occurred about mid-way through the event when Kevin Lowary, playing on the team of DePuy Orthopaedics, hit a hole-in-one on number 17. For his effort, Kevin won a hot tub sponsored by Hot Spring Spas and a Dell Computer System sponsored by Wittrock Motors. Hole-in-one sponsors for this year’s event were Carroll Cycle Center, Drees Company, Hill-Rom Corporation, Hot Springs Spas, Rueter Red Power, Wilkie Clothiers and Wittrock Motors. Beverage sponsor was Mid-Iowa Insurance and Real Estate. The Carroll Hy-Vee store provided a grand prize gift package of $500 in Hy-Vee gift cards to the team with the overall best score. The winning team, after a tie-breaker play-off, was Brian Skalla, Therese Morgan, Mike Eckerman and Dr. Josh Smith, playing for United States Surgical.
