Burton not so chilly tournament a success at Killington Golf Course

"I'm going to play a provisional mulligan" was declared as part of an atypical strategy. Then again, this was no typical golf tournament. The Killington Golf Course hosted the Annual Burton Chill Golf Tournament on Friday, July 27.

The Burton Chill Foundation is a subsidiary of the Burton Snowboard Company providing board sport opportunities to at risk and under privileged youth. The tournament drew players from around the region, many of which were representing the snow sports industry from a variety of New England Resorts.

Various holes provided unique challenges culminating with the worst ball scramble format on unlucky 13. This was a game changer for many, sinking several teams and taking them out of the running.

Winning members went home with a new snowboard and after a round of many smiles and laughs, the tournament was deemed a success as the funds raised were donated directly to the Burton Chill Foundation.
