The five-yearly milestone event hosted golfers of all abilities. Though billed as a fun event, when a group of the Caribbean’s leading business minds gathered on the lush course, it quickly became apparent that their competitive instincts overcame any notion of laid-back putting. From the first sounds of the post-dawn klaxxon, participants approached the importance of the day with a quiet but determined fierceness.

Throughout the day, the competition remained calmly intense as the golfers teed off. Friendly rivalries were tested as the day progressed as some channeling the spirit of Tiger Woods in his peak were heard to ‘up the stakes’ at any given hole. Although hole-in-ones, birdies and eagles were in short supply, the unique invitational gathering was all in aid of supporting charitable initiatives.

The real winners were the donation recipients, Maxfield Park Children’s Home and Calabar High School. They received a significant contribution from the ‘mulligans’ innovation. Best described as a ‘do-over’ shot tariff when a strike had gone awry, golfers pre-purchased cash tickets for their imperfect strokes.
