Five grand.

That's exactly what St. Helena Hospital employee Dwight Boyd won when he sunk a 50-foot putt during Pacific Union College1s Malcolm Maxwell Golf Classic on May 17. It was the first time someone has won the putting contest prize.

PUC1s annual fundraiser, held at the Napa Valley Country Club, raised nearly $40,000 towards student aid through the Malcolm Maxwell Scholarship Fund

In addition to playing 18 holes of golf, participants had an opportunity to win prizes sponsored by various Napa Valley businesses.
