Show Take a swing to wipe outCancer Utah golfers can help wipe out cancer with just a swing of the club this weekend. The event is the 10th annual an-nual Virginia Whitney Golf Contest to be held June 24 and the Ladies Day prior to that date on over 70 coursed throughout the state. Golfers who donate at least one dollar on the green of a designated par-three hole are eligible. Any tee shot that lands inside a ten-foot ten-foot chalked circle around the hole wins three new balls for every dollar domated. The grand-prize for a hole-in-one is a set of irons. Every dollar collected will go toward financing more free Virginia Whitney clinics which are sponsored by the Utah Division of the American Cancer Society. Ninety -one clinics have been held state-wide in the last 10 years with over 20,000 men and women examined. The clinics aim primarily at cancer of the breast, uterus, colon, and rectum. The project was named in honor of a Salt Lake golfer and courageous cancer victim who lost a personal struggle to the disease. |
