CONWAY — Golfers usually measure distances in hundreds of yards. When Memorial Hospital hosts its 40th annual golf tournament this Thursday, July 16, six-feet will be the most important distance to remember.
The annual hospital event takes place July 16 at the North Conway Country Club amid the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 90 golfers, a few less than usual, will participate. The golf game will be the same, but golfers will start at different times during the day, the traditional evening banquet is replaced with an end of round meal prepared by North Conway Country Club chefs, and a video of the day's events posted the next day on the web.
