Pink face paint isn't exactly par adornment for the golf course, but it's about to show up on at least one green--that of fantasy golf game Albatross 18.
Starting Thursday, players of OGPlanet's golf sim will be able to add pink-ribbon face paint to their characters' getups. The in-game item will cost $2.50, with $2 of each purchase going to support Boarding for Breast Cancer, a nonprofit dedicated to raising health awareness and supporting cancer research.
Albatross 18 mixes classic golf play with the role-playing genre for a game that lands far from the teeing ground of the local country club. The little pink ribbon will be available in the Albatross 18 in-game store through April 30. To further mark breast cancer awareness, the store will discount other pink products not oft seen on the course, like high heels and flip-flops, and a funky little floral head scarf that would really make one's avatar stand out from the Izod crowd.
