JMHS Hosts Successful Golf Fore! Health Tournament

The JM Foundation and Johnson Memorial Health Services (JMHS) successfully held its seventh annual Golf Fore! Health Tournament Fundraiser on Friday, June 13th, at the Dawson Golf Course. Despite a brief half-hour postponement due to rain, sixty-four participants teed off for the 18-hole, four-person scramble, helping to raise $7,000 for the JM Foundation’s Assisted Living Refresh Campaign.

The tournament saw fierce but friendly competition. The team of Scott Ochsendorf, Tyler Erickson, Jim Anderson, and Dick Erickson emerged as the 2025 champions, taking home the $400 top prize. Second place, and $300, went to Dustin Bothun, Andrea Thompson and Haley and Jake Farman. Rounding out the top three Jeff Mortenson, Doug Hermanson, Jake Redepenning, and Jesse Redepenning secured third place and $200.

In addition to the top team prizes, individual golfers were recognized for their skills on various holes, each receiving a $50 gift card.
