North Florida Trane hosted their 2022 Dealer Appreciation Golf Tournament and food drive at the Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL on October 27, 2022. One hundred and seven golfers paid the entry fee of at least ten cans of non-perishable food items each to participate in the tournament. Trane will distribute the donated goods to local central and north Florida food banks.
The golfers began arriving at 10 a.m. to register and take a few swings at the driving range and pick up their boxed lunches in preparation for the noon shotgun start. The weather was beautiful as the golfers rolled out to their respective tees to begin play and enjoy a fine day of friendly competition. An awards dinner concluded the day’s activities, giving the golfers the opportunity to brag about their slices, hooks and other amazing feats.
The awards were distributed in three flights, with the top three teams in each flight being recognized:

Lyndon Cook, Trane Regional General Manager for Florida, congratulated the winners and thanked everyone for participating. “This was a great event with terrific participation and generous support for the food drive. It wouldn’t have been possible without our vendor partners and the Trane employees that did the behind the scenes work making the tournament a reality. We thank everybody and look forward to doing it again next year!”
