The Hands On! Regional Museum 5th Annual Summer Golf Classic, held Monday, July 25th at the Johnson City Country Club, was a great success with proceeds benefitting the Museum's programs and exhibits.
Players were treated to goody bags filled with items donated by area businesses; breakfast biscuits provided by Hardee's; lunch by Gardner's Honey Hotdogs; an ice cream provided by Food City #601; door prizes; and a fun day for everyone - despite the pouring rain!
This year, the Mountain Commerce Bank team took first place: Ken Raff, Joshua Baxter, Chris Lowe, and Whit Whitaker. The Eastman team had the second best score: Kim Harvey, Greg Harvey, Mike Ritz, and Rob Ritz.
