What is CHCM, you ask?  CHCM stands for the Christ Health Care Ministry, a charitable organization that provides primary healthcare to adults without medical insurance.  Besides offering this needed health care to those in need, they have discovered they can enjoy golf with their many supporters and help keep the charity financially viable at the same time.  They enjoyed that mission on Friday at Tarry Brae Golf Course.

The group, representing golfers of all ages, genders, and abilities, competed for bragging rights, playing a team scramble format competition with additional prizes for both men’s and women’s longest drive and closest to the pin honors.

With the event being held to provide financial support for an extraordinary charitable organization, CHCM it also produced extraordinary golfing performances by the winning team and on or the women golfer participants.  The winning team of Marcolino Andalis, Alvin Viray, Rich Panio, and Dillon Barone shot an unheard-of 18 under par 54 to outpace the second-place team of Ira, Steingart, Cindy Perlmutter, Nathan Steingart, and Pravin Singh’s 13 under par 59.

If the extraordinary team performance of Team Andalis achieving an 18 under winning score was not enough, Buffy Whiting from the Chamberlain Team hit the longest drive for women on hole #16 and then moved on to the next hole, the par 3 hole designated as the closest to the pin competition.  Her tee shot landed 36’ from the hole, earning her the win on that hole, too.  At the awards ceremony, she celebrated a rare double win in the skills events.
