WEST ORANGE, NJ — The annual William “Lefty” Boland Charity Golf Outing is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 2, at Essex County Country Club in West Orange. The day begins with a barbecue lunch on the patio; at the conclusion of the tournament the venue shifts to nearby Libretti’s Restaurant for a cocktail hour, dinner and awards.
