The growing list also includes
Duke’s President Terry Sanford,
basketball coach Bill Foster and
baseball coach Enos Slaughter.
It’s not an appreciation for golf
that’s attracting these people to
that first tee. It’s an appreciation
for kids - and for what the Medical
Center is doing to keep kids well.
All proceeds from the tournament
will go to support research being
conducted here into childhood
diseases.
The Sept. 8 sp>ectacular has been
in the back of Dr. Griffith’s mind
for two years. As chief of the
Pediatric Neurology Division, he’s
been aware that some on-going
pediatric research projects at Duke
don’t get the large grants they
deserve.
For instance, an effort to find a
more rapid method of diagnosing
central nervous system infections in
children is funded only with “seed
money” from the university.
Expensive equipment is needed
for another project developing
non-invasive techniques for
diagnosing and evaluating
congenital heart disease.
So Dr. Griffith dreamed up this
year’s tournament to raise money
for such research. And next year’s
will be even more star-studded.
The professor’s “master plan”
calls for a combined tennis-golf
weekend. “It’s more than just idle
conversation,” he said recently as
-he rushed to a golf course planning
session.
The tournament is scheduled to
begin at 10 a.m. Admission is $2
for adults. Children are free. The
golf course is off N. C. 751 at
Science Dr.
