The 21st Jadot Cup, held on Sunday, June 4th, at the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, was a roaring success! With a fantastic turnout of 100 golfers forming 25 teams, this scramble format event was a day to remember. Not only did it bring out the competitive spirit, but it also raised funds for the Turks and Caicos Aids Awareness foundation.

They swung their way to victory with an impressive score of 53.74. Congratulations to these golfing champions for their well-deserved win!

Adding to the excitement of the day, the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club unveiled their brand-new scoring software from Golf Genius. It was a game-changer! This cutting-edge software allowed live scores to be posted throughout the tournament, keeping the teams on their toes.  This new softeware added a new level of energy and engagement to the tournament, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
