In addition, Honours Golf Founder and current Troon Board Member Bob Barrett received the Garmany Award recognizing hisrelentless 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.
