ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT

In 2004 Ed Hansen and Duane Francis founded the Herman Hansen Memorial Golf Tournament in memory of Ed’s father Herman Hansen, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2001 and then sadly passed away in August 2003. It is our goal to raise money and awareness in support of the ongoing work of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The amount raised to date has been just over $120,000 and our goal is to raise even more this year. This year's tournament is brought to you by Hansen Lawn and Gardens Inc., Duane Francis - Manulife Securities Inc., Pro Printers and Lacroix Heavy Equipment Rentals.

The 4th Annual Babs Harcourt Friendship Memorial Tournament held at the Greensmere Golf & Country Club, is dedicated to raising much-needed funds to support local cancer patients. Monies raised go directly to the Lucille Broadbent Legacy Fund at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, which provides funds to relieve the unexpected financial burdens of these patients. To date the Greensmere Ladies League has contributed over $30,000 to this worthy cause.

The 6^th Annual Tom Randall Memorial Golf Tournament in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is being held again this year at the Metcalfe Golf & Country Club on June 23, 2012.  After an afternoon of 18 holes of golf we will gather together for a delicious pasta buffet and participate in a silent auction, raffle and putting contest.  After a few words from our organizers, the evening will close with the drawing for door prizes.  What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon/evening and at the same time raise money to help defeat the disease that has touched us all.  Come join us!

Don’t miss the 26th annual Betty Tweedy Golf Classic featuring a new and improved format that is guaranteed to bring together members of the sport community for a fun day of golf, networking, memorable activities and more!

What’s new in 2012?

• A new location! We are pleased to partner with the Chateau Cartier Resort & Spa in Gatineau (just minutes from downtown Ottawa in the Aylmer sector of the city) with spectacular views of the Ottawa River! This course has been crowned “#1 Downtown Golf Resort in Canada” by Golf Canada.
• Eat, Drink and Be Social! Three opportunities to meet and greet are on the agenda – a BBQ lunch, a cocktail reception and a fantastic dinner.
• VIP Treatment! Chateau Cartier is offering bag drop services at the door and a free bucket of practice balls for those wishing to arrive a bit early at the event and receive the VIP treatment before lunch.
• Who was Betty Tweedy? Betty Tweedy was a respected sports administrator who believed that a game of golf with friends was an excellent way to relax and build camaraderie in the sport community. Unfortunately, Betty’s impact on sport in Canada was short-lived due to a cancer diagnosis that claimed her life in 1987. Betty’s memory lives on through the BTGC event and funds raised at the BTGC are donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. This event has raised more than $150,000 over the last 25 years. Mark Tuesday, September 18, 2012 on your calendar NOW! Plan to attend as a golfer, sponsor, dinner guest or volunteer! This event cannot be missed …… there will be more participants, more prizes, more fun and interactive activities and more money raised for cancer than ever before!
