GOLF ClASSIC 2025 Recap

​

🏌️‍♂️ 2025 MVHS Golf Classic Recap – A Day to Remember!

​

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2nd Annual Mountain View Hospice Society Golf Classic at the beautiful Olds Golf Course!  Not even the moody June weather could dampen our spirits. (We like to think the mix of sunshine, clouds, and light rain was just the sky’s way of showing all its emotions about such a heartwarming day.) 

​

Close to $30,000 was raised through our golf classic to support our client services. 

​

⛳ Tournament Highlights:

• Tournament Champions:
  🥇 Team Jordan Priebe from Desjardins with an incredible score of 50
  🥈 Runner-up: Team Eric Lafrance (2024 Champions), just behind at 51
