Thank you for supporting the 18th annual BackSwing Golf Tournament which took place on Thursday, September 8.

For the first time in two years, we returned to a shotgun start Golf Tournament! CMCC and Bayview Golf and Country Club were equally committed to ensuring the health and safety of all the golfers and staff and therefore restricted the tournament to only 120 golfers – and we are pleased to announce all 120 spots were taken!

The tournament started with Bayview’s Signature Luncheon at 11:30 a.m., which included BBQ to order: beef tenderloin, chicken breast, and fresh salmon fillet; house made coleslaw, mixed greens with assorted house-made dressings, red seasoning roast potatoes, corn on the cob, fresh watermelon, and assorted cookies. Each golfer also received two drink tickets, which they could use on alcoholic beverages or soft drinks at the luncheon or around the course.

The shotgun started at 1:30 p.m. following lunch. The tournament included contests and prizes – read about them and the lucky winners below! We concluded the tournament with a cocktail hour about 6:30 p.m. Golfers enjoyed dips & spreads, vegetable crudité, hot & cold hors d’oeuvres and more, all while networking and waiting to find out who the winners were.

The Division of Clinical Education was pleased to hold treatment outreach for the BackSwing Golf Tournament. CMCC clinicians supervised a group of eight interns who offered a 20 -minute treatment, prior to the shotgun start. Thank you to everyone who participated in our outreach!

Since its inception in 2005, CMCC BackSwing golf tournaments have raised more than $1.2 million. These funds help maintain CMCC’s role as an international leader in chiropractic education, research and patient care. This year, we are proud to say raised $70,000! We could not have done this without the support of our sponsors, donors, participants, and volunteers – thank you!
