NORWAY BAY Aug. 19, 2017
Golfers dressed in pink – and in some cases, crazier costumes – took to the Norway Bay Golf Course to participate in a tournament this weekend, supporting those who have endured and are still fighting breast cancer.
Hosting its eleventh year at the course, the annual CIBC Run for the Cure Golf Tournament brought out 14 teams, and held more than your traditional golf tourney feats.

“We’ve raised $30,000 over the years,” said event organizer Gail English-Smith. “We’re a small community out here, so that’s very good.”
With teams competing for best score, men’s and lady’s longest drive and, in one case, most honest team, there were plenty of opportunities to take home something.
The tournament also had a $10,000 hole-in-one courtesy of Promutuel at hole five, and a closest to the pink bra (similar to closest to the pin) shot at hole three.
The best competition lay in the pinkest, or in this case, craziest costume. The Hawaiian Babes took this title home, dressing not only themselves in hula garbs, but adorning their golf carts as well.
The tournament first came to the course when English-Smith bought a cottage in the Bay.
“We bought a cottage out here and decided we liked the spot,” she said.
Working for CIBC, it turned out to be a great opportunity to support Run for the Cure, while having everyone out for a bit of fun.
On top of the sports affairs, a silent auction and 50/50 draw was held, and entertainment for the evening was provided by Joey Smith and Bill Lunney, who took turns singing.
At the end of the day, over $2,500 had been raised for the charity.
“We’re all here for the survivors and the ones we lost,” said Linda Angus, a member of the Hawaiian Babes.
