A shotgun start saw teams launch into action across the immaculate course, where each swing was fuelled by the hope of a win - or, for the lucky few, bragging rights. The 17th hole was a particular hotspot, thanks to a tempting Subaru Crosstrek prize courtesy of Winger Motors for a hole-in-one. Despite valiant efforts, the prize went unclaimed, but the competitive spirit was undeniable. 

When the dust settled, Team Alex Smith, Jon Tierney, Sam Tierney, and Sudhir Lala reclaimed the first place previously winning the competition in 2022. They were followed closely by Team Mike Gascoigne, Nick Lowe, Nick Reeves, and Steve Gallaugher, and Team Andrew Buckley, David Yu, Sam Buckley, and Ray Jiang. Team Andrew Jarvie, Ian May, Scott Campbell, and Tim Burcher were also acknowledged for their unwavering support of the Saint Kentigern golf event participating for more than thirty years! 

With over $10,000 raised for our Saint Kentigern Education Outside the Classroom programme, our best fundraising effort to date, and the incredible support of our alumni, parents and friends of Saint Kentigern, the event was a true success. This was made possible by the generosity of our many sponsors, with a special thanks to Greig Leighton and Caroline Paull- Leighton, who put up a significant Club Med Europe travel prize that served as a catalyst for further contributions from the Saint Kentigern community, helping to ensure the fundraiser’s success 

We are also grateful for the organisation of key individuals such as Thomas Steel, SKA President, and Daniel Quigley, SKA Treasurer, as well as the efforts of the Foundation team. 

Here’s to another successful round next year!
