Palm Desert Golf Tourney to Benefit Local Cancer Center; Players Sought

The March 29 tournament at the Oasis Country Club supports the Arnold Palmer Prostate Cancer Center at Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.

Registration is open for the fourth annual Art Bowman Memorial Golf Tournament in Palm Desert, which benefits support and outreach programs for a local cancer center.

The March 29 tournament at the Oasis Country Club supports the Arnold Palmer Prostate Cancer Center at Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.

Bowman was an original homeowner at the country club and founder of its Men's Golf Club. He died of prostate cancer two years after the tournament started.

The tournament will be played in a four-person shamble format and feature contests and prizes. The tournament will be followed by lunch, a raffle and silent auction.

"This day of golf is not only an enjoyable annual event for our members and guests, but it also supports an important local resource," said Paul Rustigan, president of the Oasis Men's Golf Club. "Last year we raised more than $9,000 and our goal is to surpass that this year."

The $75 per-person cost includes golf, lunch and prizes. For information and to register, call (760) 345-2715.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
