KILLINGTON — On July 15 and 16 Green Mountain National Golf Course hosted a 36 hole stroke play tournament with a field of 100 players of age 55 and older. Jeanne Morrissey of Williston won the Ruth Raymond Jones Memorial Seniors’ Championship at Green Mountain National in a sudden death playoff over Margie Kaat of Ekwanok.
