La Grange – La Grange Memorial Hospital Foundation will host its 13th annual golf classic Aug. 13 at the La Grange Country Club, 620 S. Brainard Ave. The event features golf at an outstanding private club located next to the hospital campus.

Due to its popularity, the golf outing features a double shotgun start. The first group will tee off at 8 a.m.; the second group at 1 p.m.
