Golf Tournament Details: The format for this year’s HosPAC golf outing is Member vs. Member. Hospitals and health systems are encouraged to submit at least one complete team comprised of three golfers. However, hospitals and health systems are not restricted to fielding just one team. Each team will be paired with a sponsor. Tournament winners will take possession of the trophy that annually goes home with the victor, as well as the bragging rights that go with it. Individual entries are welcome!
