It was the first leg of the Relay for Life, so to speak. And it took place
on the little links.
   
Families crowded the course at Mickey’s Golf Center in Drums on Friday
night to get in some shots for the battle against cancer.
    Putt Putt for a Cure, a miniature-golf tournament organized by Renee
Aquilina, leader of Mountaintop’s contingent for the American Cancer Society’s
upcoming relay, raised money and spirits for the cause.
   
Participants paid $10 for 18 holes and a return ticket and an extra $2 if
they chose to take part in an indoor golf simulator tournament. Proceeds will
directly benefit the Relay for Life, which will take place from 7 p.m. May 19
until 6 p.m. May 20 at King’s College’s Robert L. Betzler Fields. Teams from
various local organizations and communities are now forming, and participants
will be asked to collect pledges or donations for the laps they will walk.
Each team will be asked to have a walker on the track for each hour of the
relay.
