BackSwing ’25 – Celebrating 21 Years!

On Friday, September 5, 2025, CMCC’s 21st annual BackSwing Golf Tournament returned to the beautiful Bayview Golf & Country Club for a day of competition, camaraderie, and celebration.

From the moment golfers arrived, the energy was high. Players warmed up at Bayview’s new practice range, visited CMCC interns for pre-round treatments, and teed off ready for friendly competition. With 100 golfers on the roster, the shotgun scramble kept the pace lively, the laughter loud, and the swings ambitious.

The day was packed with excitement – contests, prizes, a BBQ lunch, on-course treats, cocktail hour, and a gourmet dinner. Congratulations to our winning foursome and contest champions who made this year’s event one to remember!

 

 

Highlights from the Day

 
  • Players warmed up at Bayview’s new practice range and enjoyed pre-round treatments from CMCC interns.

  • From Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin, to the fan-favourite Putting Contest and Beat the Dr. Kim challenge, players had dozens of chances to win amazing prizes!

  • Golf carts stocked with swag, snacks, and sponsor goodies.

  • A BBQ lunch at the Halfway House, cookie and beverage stations, plus a post-round cocktail reception and gourmet buffet dinner.

Why We Swing

Since 2005, BackSwing has raised over $1.4 million in support of CMCC’s mission in chiropractic education, research, and patient care. This year, thanks to our golfers, sponsors, donors, and auction supporters, BackSwing continued to build on that incredible legacy.

And speaking of the auction – our BackSwing Online Auction, powered by ELITE Chiropractic Tables, featured incredible items like golf foursomes, pro sports tickets, and travel packages.

 

 

Thank You!

BackSwing wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, donors, participants, and volunteers. Together, you made this year’s event unforgettable – from the competition on the greens to the connections at dinner.

 

 

See You Next Year at BackSwing ’26!

BackSwing is more than a tournament. It’s community, celebration, and support for the future of chiropractic. If you missed out this year, make sure you don’t next year – spots are limited and sell out quickly!

BackSwing ’26 – coming September 2026. Stay tuned for details, and get ready for another day of golf, prizes, networking, and memories you won’t want to miss!
