A sun-soaked afternoon, an outstanding golf course, big-name celebrities and a great cause made for a memorable day at the second annual Know Your Score: Fight Prostate Cancer Celebrity Golf Tournament & Gala.
Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim, Know Your Score’s national spokesman, actor Craig T. Nelson, NFL Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and former Major League Baseball All-Star Ken Griffey Sr. were just a few of the names that helped attract a full field to Long Bay Club, a 4.5-star Jack Nicklaus design.
Following the golf tournament, there was a silent auction and gala at Kingston Plantation. Proceeds from the day’s events aid the fight against prostate cancer.
While talk of cancer generally elicits a somber response, the Know Your Score event was full of laughs. Participating celebrities and event participants had an equally good time, sharing laughs and a couple cold drinks on a warm Saturday in the Golf Capital of the World.
The captain’s choice event was won by team captained by Dan Hampton with a score of 52.
The most common non-skin cancer in America, prostate cancer afflicts 1 in 6 men, the majority of that total over the age of 40. As the world’s most popular golf destination, that demographic is Myrtle Beach’s core audience. As a result, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday teamed up with Zero: The Project to End Prostate Cancer to launch the Know Your Score: Fight Prostate Cancer campaign.
Know Your Score is a multifaceted effort that also includes closest-to-the-pin contests and out-of-market fundraising tournaments. Money raised by Know Your Score is dedicated to improve research, early testing and education.
