Golf club owner and Play Fore Hope organizer
Jacqui Shepherd has teed it up with her own
team every year since this tournament began in
2006. Also pictured from left are Charlotte

While chef and co-owner Harry Shepherd hit
the kitchen, Jacqui Shepherd and her teams hit
the links. Harry Shepherd wasn’t the only man
working for the cause that day, either. The
Men’s Club supported the tournament with
donations of prize money and hard work. They
mowed and trimmed the week before to help
get the course in tip top condition. On the big
day they parked cars, manned the refreshment
stands and helped with games of skill.
Gillian Zinck, senior development officer of The
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, has come
to the tournament every year. This year she
manned the tee box on Hole #3 where for a
loonie you got to try your hand at hitting a pink
rubber duckie on the fairway.
“The fact that both the
husband and wife here have
taken the reins (of the
tournament) is different.
Jacqui’s always been very
involved in it and has played
in it every year. This year
she’s the lead coordinator for
the event. Her husband is
always inside cooking, which
is unique. Not only are they
hosting, but they own the
course. There’s not a lot of
tournaments that we have
where the owners are as
involved as they are.
“Breast cancer is not just a disease that strikes
at women. It strikes at the very heart of who we
are as women: how others perceive us, how we
perceive ourselves, how we live, work and raise
our families-or whether we do these things at
all.” Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The Annapolis Royal Golf Club has only 18
women members. But since 2006 those women
have spearheaded an event that will have raised
over $100,000 by the end of this year’s event
on Aug. 25. The Play Fore Hope fundraiser is a
team scramble event that sees anywhere up to
44 teams of four women take to the course in
their effort to eradicate breast cancer.

Jacqui Sheperd, co-owner of the course, has been
playing in the event since the beginning. For the
last three years, Shepard has headed the event’s
organizing committee. In addition to the Annapolis
Royal members who have worked and played in
every event, “We have returning players who are
very supportive,” said Shepard. “Some from the
French shore have been here every year, rain or
shine.” In 2009 players faced torrential rain and
high winds to complete the tournament — but they
did so with smiles and high spirits.
It is important to note that the Ladies of Annapolis
Royal Golf Club are not alone in their endeavours.
Club co-owner Harry Shepherd is also the
restaurant’s chef, working for days in advance to
make sure everything is perfect for the ladies
when they reach the Royal Eatery
Annapolis Royal Golf Club has an exceptionally
small and intimate membership. Everyone chips in.
So it is the gentlemen members who mow the
fairways and greens. On tournament day they act
as valets, supervise the putting and hole in one
games, drive the beverage cart, and cook and hand
out hot dogs to competitors.
Play Fore Hope is one of 10 similar tournaments
held in Nova Scotia each year. “This tournament is
the third largest Nova Scotia golf event in support
of CBCF,” states Gillian Zink, senior development
officer of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
Zink has attended the Annapolis Royal event
every year. “I’m from rural Nova Scotia myself and I
know the power of a community, no matter the
size, when they commit to a cause. Anything and
everything is possible with community support.”
Attending “allows attendees to put a face to the
foundation and allows me to personally thank
everyone for their support. You can’t accept
people’s hard earned money and not be there to
say thank you — I can’t operate like that, it’s not
the way that I was brought up,” said Zink.
In 2015 Annapolis Royal will receive the Platinum
Tee Award. It is presented to golf events that have
contributed over $100,000 or more to CBCF. “In
the history of the golf program, there have only
been two golf events that have received this award
so it’s pretty special to reach this goal,” said Zink.
