The Helicopter Golf Ball Drop took place for the 11th year, thanks to the Renaud Bros, Inc. helicopter, piloted by Mike Renaud. (Individuals did not need to be part of the tournament to buy golf balls, priced at $100 each, nor be present at the drop to win.) Nearly all 100 balls were sold this year, according to organizers, who credit Karen Bergstrom of Belle Notte, who singlehanded sold the vast majority of the balls to patrons of the Bella Notte bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bucket of golf balls was dropped from 20 feet on the fairway at the Brattleboro Country Club. \u00a0The winners of the $3000 cash prize was Tami Purcell of Berkley & Veller Greenwood Country with ball #29, winning for the second year in a row, only 32 inches from the pin. Second closest was ball #75 purchased by Mark Richards which was 43 inches from the pin. In third place was Jim Woodberry\u2019s ball #77 which was 49 inches from the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
