Carrying Place Golf Course in King, Ont., is the official hosting site for the 2014 Golf Fore the Cure presented by Subaru National Event.
On September 22nd, over 120 participants are expected to play 18 holes of golf in celebration of another successful year of promoting women’s golf and raising funds for breast cancer.
This marks the 11th annual National Event and signifies the growing success of the women’s participation initiative.
“It’s been a natural progression for us,” said Steve Elliot, General Manager at Carrying Place. “We’ve hosted several ‘pink-out’ nights in the past and we are very happy to be a part of the National Event and its cause.”
Site coordinators, Erika, Bernie and Chris hosted a Golf Fore the Cure event last Monday at Carrying Place, playing host to well over 100 ladies in a “pink-out” themed tournament full of prizes, giveaways and more. Building off that, the team at Carrying Place is looking forward to the National Event celebration in three months’ time.
“An event like this is great for introducing ladies to golf with the friendly atmosphere of the scramble format,” said Brian Jones, Head Golf Professional at Carrying Place. “It’s also a great social event for ladies to enjoy their entire night with dinner and festivities afterwards.”
The National Event celebrates the collective accomplishments of all program participants from across the country. Among those in attendance will be corporate teams, club members, guests and even first-time golfers. Foursomes from the top two fundraising events will be honoured at the event, with Golf Canada covering their transportation and hospitality costs.
Also attending will be Evanka Osmak of Sportsnet who has been a program ambassador for three years running.
“It is truly an honour to be named an ambassador for Golf Canada’s Golf Fore the Cure Program” said Osmak. “I am thrilled to be involved with a program that promotes women’s participation in the game of golf and raises money for such a worthy cause as breast cancer. I look forward to doing my part to make a difference and hopefully inspire others to do the same.”
In addition to fighting breast cancer, Golf Fore the Cure presented by Subaru aims to encourage women’s participation in the sport. The National Event highlights these goals with a day of care-free golf and friendly contests.
Golf Canada is also proud to announce that Nancy Lopez Golf has signed on this year as the official apparel sponsor for the National Event. The Nancy Lopez line will provide each participant with a gift while also displaying their fall apparel collection.
