Charity Calendar Too Revealing For Breast Cancer Foundation

Monday December 4, 2006

Nikki GarrettTop female golfers from the Australian Ladies Professional Golf Tour posed for a photo calendar which was meant to help raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) of Australia. But the NBCF said that the calendar was "too racy" and that the partially-revealed breasts of these shapely golf pros would be "too confronting" for women who had lost their breasts to mastectomies. As a result, the initial print run of the "Top Shots" calendar had to be shredded, so that the final version will not display the NBCF logo.
