It was sun, fun and some pretty remarkable moves at the Quail Run Golf Course, 9774 W. Alabama Ave., when more than 100 women golfers turned out for the Quail Run Ladies 9-hole Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament.

Many of the ladies were dressed in pink golf shirts, sweaters and pants, and after a day of joy on the greens, more than $7,000 was raised by the golfers for Bosom Buddies of Arizona.

Bosom Buddies was started in 1982 by five women who worked in advertising and communication. The group was organized to create awareness and early detection of breast cancer in men and women. Bosom Buddies is not only a resource of information about breast cancer, it also offers support groups and educational material. They also have grant programs to assist with costs related to breast cancer treatment.

There were two shotgun starts for the Quail Run tourney, at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

The women in rows of multicolored golf cars headed to their respective tee boxes to make history with some pretty spectacular birdies and pars. After a morning of challenging golf, moderator Darlene Henderson welcomed all the golfers during the luncheon and then recognized all those women who survived the disease. The newest longest survivor recognized was Marilyn LeClair, who celebrated 35 years cancer free. Last year, Pat Porter, who died in October of this year at the age of 97, was the longest survivor with 36 years cancer free.

Then it was time to recognize all those women who achieved a level of success during the competition with everything from the drive closest to the pin, the most accurate drive, the longest first putt on the green and the longest drive.

This year’s winners for drives closest to the pin was Joyce Kahagen on hole No. 1. Lori Townsend doubled her fun with drives closest to the pin on No. 5 and No. 7. There was a tie for the golfers who had the most accurate drive to the line from the tee — Sherry Eilbes and Mary Dugan shared the prize on hole No. 2, while Ida Rexses shared the spotlight with the most accurate drive on hole No. 4. The women who turned putting into an art form with the longest first putt on the green were Linda Schumacher on hole No. 3, Beryl Bael on hole No. 6 and Rosie Swain on hole No. 9. The golfer walking away with the longest drive on the fairway from the tee was Diane Beauchamp. The women were each awarded a cash prize.

After the luncheon, the Quail Run Ladies 9-Hole League began planning for next year’s event. Each year, the club comes up with new and innovative ways to conduct a golf tournament that focuses on raising money to help women and men who are battling breast cancer and next year will be no exception.
