Victories on the Golf Course Celebrate Victories for Children’s
Health and Raise $250,000 for Mott Children’s Hospital
The 26th Annual Mott Golf Classic, played every year on the
University’s Radrick Farms golf course and the private
Barton Hills Country Club course near Ann Arbor, annually attracts
more than 250 golfers who vie for hole-in-one prizes and a chance
to raise money for Mott Children’s Hospital.
Each year the event also celebrates the health of a former
Mott patient, who is honored at the Golf Classic’s Monday
evening banquet. This year’s event, held on June 7, celebrated
the good health of 11-year-old Zachary Barnett of Dallas, Texas,
who was brought to the University of Michigan Health System’s
Mott Children’s Hospital by his parents shortly after his
birth in Texas so that he could be treated for his congenital
heart problem by Edward L. Bove, M.D., professor of surgery
and head of the Section of Cardiac Surgery. Zachary was accompanied
by his parents, Kim and Dale Barnett, a broadcaster with the
cable sports network, ESPN, in Dallas, on his celebratory visit
to Ann Arbor.
