LPGA Pink Ribbon Pro-Am is Sunday
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The third annual Ethicon Endo-Surgery Pink Ribbon Pro-Am will feature a three-hour women's golf clinic at the Golf Center at Kings Island on Sunday. The clinic, sponsored by Fidelity Investments, will begin at 1 p.m, conducted by top teaching pros of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Division. For a $100 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the LPGA's official charity, women of all ages and abilities can participate in the clinic and learn how to swing, chip and putt from top LPGA teaching professionals. To register, call toll free: 866-522-PINK (7465). The pro-am will feature 26 LPGA touring pros. Among them are Hall of Famers Kathy Whitworth and Sandra Haynie.
Middletown's Marianne Morris, Val Skinner and breast cancer survivor Shelly Hamlin are among the LPGA pros expected to play alongside the 100 amateurs in a scramble format. The tour players will hold an exhibition at 10 a.m. Sunday. The pro-am tees off at 11 a.m.
• The LPGA Tour and title sponsor Sports Today said Monday they have canceled the tournament in South Korea next week because of the military action in Afghanistan.
