The tournament will take place from the 7th to the 11th of May next year, with tournament rounds played over two days on the Teeth of the Dog and Dye Fore golf courses here in Casa de Campo The tournament offers divisions for single and mixed-team golfers, with competition at low gross and low net. Joan Kidd, founder of the tournament, said the following.
“Experiencing the impact of this disease personally, as a two-time ovarian cancer survivor, and professionally, as a physician, I feel a close and personal understanding of how devastating this disease can be. It has also shown me there is a great need to increase public awareness, promote early detection and support families touched by this cancer. I am proud to work with the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance to help achieve these goals, and as a golfing enthusiast, I can’t think of a better way to achieve this!”
– Joan Kidd, MD
