Save the Date(s) for the 2026 McKenzie Auxiliary Golf Scramble!

Mark your calendars, golf enthusiasts and community supporters: the McKenzie Health System Auxiliary Golf Scramble is back for its 20th Annual event! Once again featuring two date options to accommodate more teams than ever, this year’s scramble is set for Thursday, June 4, or Friday, June 5, 2026, at Woodland Hills Golf Course, 320 N. Gates Rd., Sandusky, MI 48471. Both days will follow the same schedule, so every team has the opportunity to enjoy a great day on the course.

Registration opens at 8:00 a.m., with the Golf Ball Drop at 8:45 a.m. and a Shotgun Start at 9:00 a.m. This year’s event features exciting activities and challenges for all participants, including:

· 9th Annual Golf Ball Drop – Sponsored by Bender Builders, each ticket ($10) gives you two chances to win a $500 prize – one chance each day. The ball closest to the hole or first ball in wins. Tickets available at the Tribune Recorder Leader, at Woodland Hills, or by contacting any Auxiliary member. You do not need to be present to win.

· Bullseye Challenge – Sponsored by Kohler’s Propane Co., test your short game on a designated Par 3 hole for a chance to win a YETI Cooler! Tee shot tickets are $10 each. The closer your ball lands to the pin, the more raffle entries you earn. Team bonuses available – closer to the pin means more chances to win!

· Hole in One Challenge – Sponsored by McDonald Chevrolet Buick in Marlette, take your best shot at a new car on Hole #5! Don’t miss your chance to swing for the big win!

All proceeds from the Golf Scramble benefit McKenzie Health System and its mission to deliver exceptional care to our community. The McKenzie Health System Auxiliary is a continual source of support for MHS, and all fundraising proceeds are donated back to the hospital.

Final event details, including registration and sponsorship opportunities, are still being finalized. In the meantime, save your date and start gathering your team!
