Surgeons Condemn Penis Enlargement Prize Tuesday December 7 8:34 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian doctors have condemned a golf tournament sponsor offering a penis enlargement for the longest drive. Health authorities have also hit out at the organizers after they offered a breast enhancement to the champion woman player. Already more than 120 people have entered the tournament at Queensland's Sanctuary Cove which is being organized by cosmetic surgery firm Clinical Beauty. Professor Donald Marshall from the Royal College of Australian Surgeons told Australian radio on Tuesday that the competition trivialized cosmetic surgery. He said consumers needed to remember that even cosmetic surgery had real risks and the potential for complications. Queensland government ministers have already instructed the State's Office of Gaming Regulation to add cosmetic surgery procedures to the list of banned prizes for lotteries, raffles and trade promotions. A spokeswoman for the cosmetic surgery company denied suggestions the tournament was trivializing medical procedures.
