On July 26, shades of pink will once again adorn the Marias Valley Golf and Country Club, as the 8th Annual Hi-Line Women Against Breast Cancer Golf Tournament will take to the greens to raise money for Breast Cancer Patients. A year’s preparation for the WAB Board will begin to unfold on Friday evening for the Caddy Auction to be held at the new Ringside Ribs in Shelby beginning at 6 p.m. with a free will donation supper of nacho bar and pizza. Eleven caddies will take center stage ringside at 8 p.m. as Referee/Auctioneer John Fritz will take the women’s golf teams highest bids. It is always an exciting time to see what each caddy has to offer and who will bid the highest. We have some great new exciting caddies along with favorites returning. John always keeps the bidding lively and you never know exactly what to expect. Now if there is anyone out there that thinks that they would like to be a caddy, please let us know and be ringside on Friday night. It’s not too late to take your chance to see if you could be the caddy with the highest bid. Saturday morning teams start rolling in at 8 a.m. to prepare their carts and final preparations for the costumes. You never know what you might see, it could be anything from Hawaiian Hula Girls, Toothless Hillbillies to some Rockin’ 50’s Poodle Skirts.... it’s a real Hoot! After the opening ceremonies it’s a Best Ball Shotgun start with 120 golfers and their caddies hitting the golf course to show their support for Breast Cancer Patients at 9 a.m. Several competitions are held on the course throughout the day including finding the bras, WABC trivia, closest to the pin and a brand new car for a Hole in One! This year Van Motors of Conrad is once again sponsoring a Hole in One prize. It’s a beautiful 2008 Buick Lacerne on hole 16 with some other great prizes on all the par 3 holes.
