At the Crowne Plaza Invitational played in Texas, everyone on Saturday was touting a fantastic shade of pink........all in honor and support for Amy Mickelson, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
The PGA Tour Wives Association organized this show of support with help from the tour, the staff of the Colonial Tournament and the 'Susan G. Komen for the Cure' foundation. Players, caddies, tournament officials, TV announcers and the fans all sported this unique shade of "pink" in support. For some professionals, like Ian Poulter, wearing 'pink' is a regular choice. Poulter, obviously, enjoys wearing his flashy,stylish and colorful outfits. However, for others, it truly was a stretch. Tour professional, Steve Marino, said "I'm not really a pink-shirt type of guy". But yes, his shirt was definitely pink and, just maybe, that might be a color he might consider wearing again after shoting a 62 in the third round on Saturday. David Feherty, the well known and "colorful" announcer for CBS wearing a pink hat, pink shirt and even a "touch" of pink in his goatee showed his support for Amy Mickelson and the efforts made by many organizations to promote awareness and raise funds to find a cure.
One such organization, LIFE, founded by LPGA Professional, Val Skinner, recently hosted her 10th annual charity golf event in New Jersey. Over the past ten years, Skinner, in conjunction with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, has raised more than $5.8 million to fight this disease. Through awareness and on-campus visits to American colleges and universities, Skinner has dedicated her efforts to raise awareness and provide information to young women regarding breast cancer.
We all, professionals and fans alike, wish our best for Amy!!!!!
