Prostate Cancer Awareness in Myrtle Beach

PROSTRATE CANCER AWARENESS
IN MYRTLE BEACH

Over twenty-seven Myrtle Beach area golf courses participate in closest-to-the-pin contests held along the Grand Strand on Saturdays throughout the year. All proceeds are donated to Zero – the Project to End Prostate Cancer, formerly known as the National Prostate Cancer Coalition. The closest-to-the-pin contests raised $40,000 for prostate cancer education and research

Golfers who participated by contributing $10 to the Know Your Score campaign receive a sleeve of golf balls and the person who records the closest shot of the day at each course wins a brand new putter which can be picked up at the pro shop.

The Myrtle Beach area golf courses that participated include Aberdeen Country Club, Blackmoor Golf Club, Black Bear Golf Club, Burning Ridge Golf and Country Club, Crown Park Golf Club, Farmstead Golf Links, Founders Club at Pawley’s Island, Glen Dornoch Golf Links, Grande Dunes Resort Club, Heather Glen Golf Links, Indian Wells Golf Club, Indigo Creek Golf Club, King’s North at Myrtle Beach National, Litchfield Country Club, Long Bay Club, Meadowlands Golf Club, Myrtlewood Golf Club, Possum Trot Golf Course, River’s Edge Golf Club, River Hills Golf & Country Club, Shaftesbury Glen Golf & Fish Club, SouthCreek at Myrtle Beach National, The Resort Club at Grande Dunes, Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation, Waterway Hills Golf Club, West Course at Myrtle Beach National, Wicked Stick and Willbrook Plantation.

“The entire Myrtle Beach golf community has eagerly embraced the Know Your Score campaign in this inaugural year and we look forward to working with Zero – the Project to End Prostate Cancer in the future to help educate men on the importance of early and frequent testing", says Bill Golden, President of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday.

About Zero-the Project to End Prostate Cancer

Zero prostate cancer deaths. Zero prostate cancer cases and for those with prostate cancer it means a zero PSA. The name conveys what Zero stands for – zero tolerance for prostate cancer.

Zero is committed not only to reducing prostate cancer or alleviating the pain from the disease but to end it. Zero set a goal that all men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer will be cured or manage their illness with good quality of life, with the support they need to minimize physical and emotional suffering and to cope effectively throughout their cancer journeys. To accomplish this goal, Zero provides comprehensive treatment information to patients, education to those at risk and conduct more free screenings than ever before. Zero increases research funds from the federal government to find new treatments and assist in the funding for research in the pursuit of a better test for the disease.
