Golfing for the heart
“Fighting heart disease, one stent at a time” is the goal for this year’s Lenoir Memorial Foundation’s superball golf tournament, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Kinston Country Club, with registration and lunch at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon.
Proceeds will go towards the expansion of the Cath Lab at Lenoir Memorial Hospital. Players have the chance to win a 2013 Toyota Corolla, thanks to Massey Toyota’s hole-in-one sponsorship.
