More than 30 women came together on Wednesday, Oct. 4 to not only play golf but support Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Members of the Cypress Head Women's Golf Association attended the welcome-back luncheon wearing pink, from pink hats, to pink shirts to pink dresses, to honor the annual campaign geared toward increasing awareness of the disease. The women were kicking off their golf season.
"Some of our members and friends and family have been touched by cancer," Sandi Rees, the association's president, said. "And we just thought it would be great to show unity."
