Play for P.I.N.K. (PFP) has raised over $85 million to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research—research that’s already saving lives, improving outcomes, and uncovering new approaches to this challenging disease. The Play for P.I.N.K. organization transforms PLAY into SERIOUS SUPPORT, and our Chapter’s leadership is proud to host this year’s event at Journey at Pechanga.

 

What began in 1990 as a single golf tournament among friends has grown into a nationwide movement, with PFP events now held in 30 states across the country. This is our moment to PLAY FOR IMPACT—and we need your participation to make it count.

 

Format:

You will be able to choose the format you'd like to play:

  • 2 Person Best Ball Female/Female
  • 2 Person Best Ball Female/Male
  • 4 Person Scramble - F/F/F/F


Not Playing? You Can Still Support!

The course has reopened after a major remodeling as a 9-hole par 27 with amazing mountain backdrops and beautiful mature trees. Varied yardages ranging from 62 – 164 yards might call for a different club on every hole. Pine Glen is an inexpensive, walkable little course that you can get around in short order.

EDUCATION CORNER

Course Etiquette - Before The Round Begins


TEE TIMES - Be ready to play 15 minutes BEFORE your tee time


ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH TO:

Warm up, stretch • Hit practice balls • Change shoes • Pay the pro shop • Get food and drink • Find the restroom • Get a scorecard • Place cell phone on quiet


CHECK THAT BALL


Identify Your Brand: When your foursome gets to the first tee, identify what ball you are playing and note what brands your playing partners are using.


Mark Your Ball: Feel free to mark your ball with your initials or a design that you can recognize quickly. Keep a sharpie in your golf bag to quickly mark new balls as needed.


Provisional Option: When a provisional ball is struck, how will you distinguish it from the first ball if found? Mark a sleeve of balls with a “1”, “2”, and “3” so when a provisional ball is used it will be easy to identify since all three would be from the same brand.
