In addition, Honours Golf Founder and current Troon Board Member Bob Barrett received the Garmany Award recognizing his relentless dedication to the community. Barrett and his family founded Teal Wings of Hope in 2024 to honor the life and legacy of Barbara “Babs” Barrett, who bravely battled ovarian cancer.
Throughout her courageous journey, Babs remained committed to her enduring wish: to help develop early detection screenings for ovarian cancer that could save the lives of others. In keeping with her wish, Teal Wings of Hope was created as a foundation dedicated to raising funds for ovarian cancer research and providing critical support for patients.
The organization stands as a lasting tribute to Babs’ strength, compassion, and unwavering hope. Named after Troon Founder Dana Garmany, the Garmany award annually honors extraordinary efforts by team members throughout the company.
