The event was in aid of the TCI Education Foundation, with 100% of proceeds going to TCI Student Scholarships at the British West Indies Collegiate (BWIC). Thanks to the incredible support from sponsors and participants, the tournament is set to raise a record amount, likely surpassing $40,000!
Special thanks to Collette Coty, who did a stellar job as Tournament Director, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We’re already excited for next September when we’ll return for the 5th Annual Tournament!
After a fun day on the course, everyone took a short stroll over to Opus, where a fabulous spread was waiting. The prize-giving ceremony was held there, and the celebration continued well into the afternoon.
It was also wonderful to see the next generation of golfers stepping up to the challenge. Shout-out to junior golfers Paola Stipa and Walter Stipa for their participation and impressive performance.
And hats off to Lindy Gunderson, a brand-new golfer, who managed to get closest to the pin for the ladies on the 17th hole—an amazing achievement for a newcomer!
All in all, it was a fantastic turnout on a beautiful day. We can’t wait to do it all over again for a great cause in 2024!
