Dozens gather for Triad charity golf tournament
Greensboro community members gathered for a fundraiser to help local kids achieve their greatest potential through the game of golf. Race to Ace is a fast-paced Par-3 challenge with the goal of making a hole-in-one for $100,000.

The program focuses on empowering kids to be the best version of themselves as they improve their swing. “We just want to draw some attention not only to the game of golf for young people in the community because of what it can do for their lives, but just as important as that is the history of this golf course, Gillespie Golf Course,” said one event attendee.

Several over-the-counter eye products used to treat dry and irritated eyes have been voluntarily recalled following an audit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
