In 2008 local realtor Mike Borody approached the Kimmett family about having a memorial golf tournament in the fall to honor Lindsay. A committee of friends and family came together and The Monumental Tournament of Aces held its first tournament on October 4, 2008 at Cochrane Golf Course. Through the years the tournament grew to 200 participants and eventually moved to The Links of Gleneagles. After 7 years with the original committee the LIndsay Leigh Kimmett Memorial Foundation was pleased to partner with the Rotary Club of Cochrane and Cochrane Search & Rescue from 2015-2025 when the final MTA took place on October 4,2025. Through the 18 years of the tournament the MTA raised over 1.6 million dollars for local and international charities. Another 400k was spent in the Cochrane economy for goods and services. There were 25 ACES (hole in ones) made during those 18 years. Special thanks to the sponsors, volunteers and participants for making it all happen!

Monumental Tournament of Aces 2018

The 11th annual Monumental Tournament of Aces was the coldest ever with snow and ice on the fairways but the greens were cleared by watering them before the tournament began. As conditions improved the MTA went on to raise $81,000.00 vor the Variety Club East End Centennial Park, Rotary Club of Cochrane, Cochrane Search & Rescue and LLKMF.     Tournament of Aces Thank you Oct 10CSAR Speech MTA2018Playground

Monumental Tournament of Aces 2017

The 10th Annual Monumental Tournament of Aces was a huge success raising $83,000. Beneficiaries included Cochrane search & Rescue, Rotary Student exchange Program and Lindsay's Kids sports sponsorships. Long time volunteers and sponsors were honored with bright neon coats for their past support of the MTA. We were thrilled to partner with the Rotary Club of Cochrane this year to put on the tournament. The absolute highlight of the day was Children’s Wish ambassador Tristan Garett’s speech, which can be viewed below.

Last year's event was truly memorable with a record number of golfers and over $138,000 was raised to purchase ultrasound equipment for the still to be opened Dr. Lindsay Kimmett Rotary Club of Cochrane Ultrasound Clinic in the Cochrane Community Health Centre. With the economic downturn and change in government Alberta Health has not committed funding for staffing of the clinic which we hope will happen in the fall.

Monumental Tournament of Aces 2014

Thanks to an incredible turnout of golfers (165), unprecedented sponsorship, and a fantastic donation by the Mabbott family, Cochrane will be the new home of The Dr. Lindsay Kimmett Rotary Club of Cochrane Ultrasound Clinic some time in 2015. Congratulations to all involved in making the day very special! Along with The Rotary Club of Cochrane who partnered with the foundation this year by providing manpower and a $40,000.00 contribution to the project we have raised the $136,000.00 required to purchase the equipment for the new clinic. A planned two year project has been completed in one year thanks to the generosity of so many. Congratulations to Dave Marcial for adding another hole in one to make a total of 12 aces in 7 years! Thanks to all the volunteers who made the day possible! We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! Kelly's 2014 MTA Address This past Wednesday was the first hockey game of the season for my oldtimer's team the Cochrane Ranchmen. I had been looking forward to the game with much trepidation, not because of my failed attempt at getting in shape in the offseason but because of the location of the game - the Brentwood Sportsplex. Because you see, Brentwood was the last place Dianne and I saw Lindsay alive. As I entered the arena the memories came flooding back - great memories. As we stood waiting for the Zamboni to finish I looked out at the ice, around the building, in the stands. As I did my pre-game [...]
