BOLIVIA, N.C. — The Brunswick Novant Medical Center Foundation will host its first golf tournament at Lockwood Folly Country Club on Friday, October 12. All proceeds from the golf tournament will support the BNMC Foundation’s Women and Children’s Wellness Outreach Initiative.

The 18-hole golf classic will begin with registration and breakfast from 7 to 8:30 a.m. Following breakfast, an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start is planned for the captain’s choice tournament. The tournament will also include men and women’s categories for closest to the pin, closest to the center line, longest drive, hole-in-one contests, and a putting competition. Mulligans will be available to golfers.
