Well ladies. T- off is imminent! An hour and a half we will hit the links and raise a ton of dough for Ovarian Cancer Research and Outreach Programs!
With our 40 special ladies and the sunshine over Stonehenge Golf Course we are ready to go and so looking forward to this special day! Raising funds for this very worthy cause in memory of my Mom, Bernice. In 8 short years we have raised over $83,000 and many of these special ladies have played since our first tournament. Many of our sponsors have been with us since day one and even some of the volunteers keep coming back. Our new volunteers have seen how great this tournament is and do their utmost to make this even more successful than ever. Thank you to Sherry at Stonehenge for going above and beyond what we had hoped for…
Our special thanks to Evergreen Farm and Lawn Ltd for providing us with the Hole in One prize of $3500 in golf gift cards and Swag…which includes $500 of the same for her team mates…Go get it ladies…I know you can do this!
All of our sponsors are special and I want to thank them for all they do!
See you on the course…stay tuned for the results!
Well Tom Brown says the weather will be sunny and dry with a high of 18…great golfing weather! Sherry, Mgr of Stonehenge is busy firming up the menu and it sounds delish! I know you will be happy with the selection she has put together. All in all it looks like we will have a great day on Sunday the 26th!
We are still looking for a few golfers so if you have any clout with your friends please let me know and bring them along …the winner will be Ovarian Cancer! I am sure some of you will come through for us to fill our roster and insure our spot for Stonehenge for our 10th Annual tournament next year (2020)
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Tee off is at 9 am sharp so get there by 8:30 a.m. See you then!
Good afternoon all!
We have confirmation that we will be playing our 9th Annual In The Face of an Angel Golf for Ovarian Cancer Tournament for the 3rd year at Pebblestone Golf Course, 1550 Pebblestone Rd, Courtice on May 26th, 2019! Thank you Kate and Paul Sobil for once again agreeing to host this very meaningful tournament!
Details will be posted as they are firmed up but right now I ask that you circle the date, May 26th and then stay tuned for more details! I am currently working with Ovarian Cancer Canada so that our webpage will be able to accept donations online through them and they will provide the tax receipt over $20.00
Please tell your relatives, friends and neighbours, and with their help maybe we can top our donations of last year!
Looking forward to hearing from you all….soon…
Good morning all!
Things are moving along and we are getting great silent auction items for the fundraising we do! I have to thank all the businesses that have been so generous and donated these great items!
Our sponsors have been most generous again this year and they are forever in our hearts! Pebblestone Golf Course, in Courtice, is busy preparing for us and anxious to host this tournament for the second year! We thank you Kate and Paul Sobil!
There have been some issues at the course so we will be unable to have our “after the game luncheon”at Pebblestone Golf so we have rented a room at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex in Bowmanville and Sandy is busy preparing all the silent auction items we have to date so she will be able to transport them all in her very organized fashion! I think you will be thrilled at the vast selection of great items we have this year!
We are still looking for 2 teams so if you know of any ladies that would like to come and golf to support this very worthy cause PLEASE have them contact us at http://www.inthefaceofanangel.ca and register. I would hate to have to reconsider this tournament after 8 years as it means so much to the so many who benefit from the money raised for research and the outreach programs!
I will be posting more frequent to give you all an update as we are getting close now and I look forward to seeing you all there! In the meantime…keep smilin’
As Mother Nature finally smiles upon us and the weather gets better by the day, I travel thru Clarington and see the many golfers hitting the links! As our bodies limber up from the grueling winter and we walk with a spring in our step, we begin to think about the task at hand…our 8th Annual “In The Face of an Angel” Golf for Ovarian Cancer and raising funds for our Outreach and research programs. Since the inception of this tournament in memory of my Mom, Bernice, we have raised a lot of money for the “Cause” and all of you can be so very proud of this!
Many of you know my sister who has battled Breast Cancer this year(and so far is doing great) has decided to pick up some clubs and enter the tournament as a player and I am so proud of her for that! So when you see her duffing along, be patient, she is just getting started at the game and I have no doubt she will have a lot of fun and make a lot of great memories along the way!
You all should know that Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer are linked and we must do whatever we can to help eradicate it in our lifetime. This successful tournament will help us do that, I am sure!
Our Great Sponsors have come back another year and without them, we could not do what we do so when you see their names make a mental note and when you see them in the Community, thank them….it will go a long way to show them that you noticed they continue to help us be successful each and every year with our donation to the “Cause”
We currently have 8 spots left so if you or our friends would like to join us go to our website at http://www.inthefaceofanangel.ca and register NOW! These spots will not stay available forever so do it now while you think about it!
Looking forward to seeing you all there on May 27th at Pebblestone Golf Course, Courtice! Get ready to Tee Off for Ovarian Cancer NOW!
Enjoy this wonderful day in the sunshine! and I will see you all soon!

Our sponsors are once again coming on board! At this time I want to thank the Municipality of Clarington, Syvan Developments, Halminen Corporation, The Old Newcastle House, Algoma Orchards, Veridian, Walsh’s SNUG, East Oshawa Animal Hospital, Gay Construction, Kaitlin Developments Ltd , for their continued support! Without your continued support none of this would be able to take place! Also the many donors for the wonderful silent auction items. These truly are a bonus allowing us to continue to increase our donations to Ovarian Cancer Canada for research and development! In The Face of an Angel has truly made a difference with this continued support!

If you are not able to play please make a donation today to help with Ovarian Cancer Outreach and Research! I can’t tell you how important this is for us to help make a difference to so many.
We are playing once again at the great Pebblestone Golf Course in Courtice and only playing 9 holes! We are gathering many unique silent auction items that will be there for you to bid generously on and once again meet your friends and acquaintances that you only meet at this fun event. There are many prizes to take home so come on get those clubs out, dust them off and start swinging!
The reason I am here! Who is your reason? Let’s make it count in 2018!
This is the 6th Annual In The Face of an Angel Golf for Ovarian Cancer and we are almost ready to hit those links! Registrations are coming in daily and I see our last years Winners are coming back to defend their title! Althea, Debbie, Eudora and Cindy are dusting off their clubs and Eudora has probably got the jump on all of us by playing while on vacation in sunny Florida!
Our tournament is being held this year at the beautiful Newcastle Golf & Country Club and Ev is busy preparing things for us to hit the links for a tee off at 1 PM. Dee’s Catering will be bringing a hearty menu once again and one thing for sure is no matter how we play the beautiful meal Dee does for us is heavenly and a great way to end the day!
There will be a silent auction table with great new items added this year and remember all proceeds go to Ovarian Cancer Canada for their Research and Outreach Programs. As you know we have given them over $50,000 in the last 5 years which everyone is thrilled with so even tho it is costing us more to host it this year we have still set our goal at $10,000 and I know you will all help us reach that goal.
I have upgraded my clubs this year at Dan’s Custom Clubs in Hampton and am looking for a much more comfortable game after my surgery this winter…This tournament is my springboard for the others I enter this summer raising funds for all the other causes I play in support of so I can only get better. 🙂
So ladies, round up your teammates to play, your family, neighbours and friends to donate online let’s send Ovarian Cancer Canada the biggest donation we have yet!
I will be updating and blogging routinely up to and including the tournament so watch for them. Sign up for this for free and stay updated with the days events. You will be glad you did!
Until next time…
Well today I finally met with Avery and Ashleigh of Ovarian Cancer Canada to finally finalize our 2015 “In The Face of an Angel” Golf for Ovarian Cancer Tournament held at Ayren Links Golf Course and I was able to present them a cheque from the tournament for $8,150. I am sure they must have been thinking we would never be able to catch up with each other, but how fantastic it was to be able to give them another wonderful donation from this little tournament. When we added in the online donations of $1,050 PLUS the offline donations of $1,195 the grand total this tournament made for Ovarian Cancer Canada was $10,395 ! There were high fives all around! I know Avery was elated, as today was her last day with this Ovarian Cancer Canada group because she was heading to Whitehorse to finally meet up with her hubby! What a great guy he must be to have put up with such a long time in this long distance relationship as newly weds! The sacrifices they make for Cause! The people of Whitehorse don’t realize what a cracker jack volunteer they are getting in Avery but it won’t be long until they do!
Prepping for 5th Annual In The Face of an Angel Golf for Ovarian Cancer
Special thanks to our fantastic caterer, Dee’s Harvest Table, to sponsors The Castle Cellar, Archibald’s Orchards, Ayren Links, Municipal of Clarington Social Committee, Veridian, Algoma Orchards, The Old Newcastle House, Covanta, Brightstar Newcastle Group, Palmieri’s No Frills, Ivan B Wallace OLS, Gay Construction, Kaitlin Group, Shoppers Drug Mart Newcastle, Syvan Developments, St. Mary’s Cement, Walsh’s SNUG, Newcastle Recycling Ltd.Without you we could not begin to do what we do for Ovarian Cancer Canada!
A special thank you too, to all the businesses that contributed Silent Auction items… as a successful Silent Auction is truly where we have the most fun raising these funds! Thanks again to all of you special people! Way to many to name here but lets just say that many small businesses in our little communities truly show just how generous they are for the Cause and why I love to call this area my home!
A personal THANK YOU to the volunteers that come out no matter what the weather is (and Lord knows this year was like golfing in November, not May!) it goes without saying how invaluable you all are to me and the success of this tournament.
Our cumulative total for our short 5 years doing this is now over $50,000
Ovarian Cancer Canada has advised me they will now keep the “donation page” open for us to be able to donate through the year so if you want to donate when someone passes away for example, you will be able to go to our website, http://www.inthefaceofanangel.ca and donate through their secure page that is linked to this and donate without any concerns. You will also be able to take advantage and donate using your visa/mc or amex on a monthly plan if it is easier for you. Along with all the other options, you can’t beat that option now can you!?
I am humbled by your continued generosity. The true winner in all of this is Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Outreach and Research programs they are able to provide with this funding to the hundreds of women in need of this support in our communities.
Rain, Sleet, Snow, or Hail does not deter the women who continue to golf in this tournament! Each and every one of them are troopers who play not only for the love of the game but for the Cause. Thank You Ladies for another super year and as you prepare to put your clubs away for this season, think back and remember it was each and every one of you who helped achieve this remarkable goal and for that I am forever grateful. See you May 29th, 2016 for our 6th “In The Face of an Angel” Golf for Ovarian Cancer Tournament! Save the date,won’t you?
My Mom, Bernice, Feb. 2, 1930 – May 29, 2008
