HK’s Golf Tournament Comes To A Close After Two Days With Great Benefits For Lake Regional Hospital

Another H-K’s Lake of the Ozarks Open golf tournament is in the archives with the big winner being local health care.

Two days of golf on the Cove and Porto Cima courses, a rooftop party and other activities concluded this past Monday with proceeds to benefit heart care within the Lake Regional Health Care System.

Trish Creach, Lake Regional’s executive director of the health foundation, says the event would not be the success it is without all the key players involved.

More than $3-million has been raised for the cause since the tournaments began.
