NORWAY BAY Aug. 18, 2018
The Norway Bay Golf Course hosted dozens of golfers on Aug. 18 during the CIBC Run for the Cure golf tournament.
The event is one of the biggest the golf course hosts during the course of the year.
“We had good numbers for this time in August,” said course owner Helen McCredie. “The bay gets really quiet about the middle of August.”
The highly decorated carts raced out around the course for a 2:30 p.m. shotgun start.
The Tipsy Tatas and the Rack Masters were the teams who won most decorated carts as well as most honest golfers.

Four teams tied for the lead with a score of two under par. There were 64 golfers total for the event.
Once the groups finished up, they were treated to a buffet dinner and several musicians who took to the stage.
First up was the Inside Out Band featuring the course’s head chef Joey Smith. When the band took a bit of a break, Bill Lunney took the stage for an acoustic set.
Later on that night guests were treated to a surprise performance from local legend Gail Gavan.
“Nobody knew about Gail,” McCredie said.
The event also featured a silent auction featuring everything from garden ornaments to handmade art to a freshly-built bench.
The tournament managed to raise at least $2,000, with the total still being tallied at press time.
