King's 3rd Annual Golf Day Shines with Success

Events

Our annual King's Golf Day was a sold-out event involving 120 players at The Club at Parkwood on Monday, 19 June. The golfers and teams varied in ages and skill levels, including our youngest player this year from Prep. All participants showcased sportsmanship and King's strong community spirit to enjoy a remarkable day of fun and friendly competition. Prizes included $2,500 of JB Hifi vouchers and prizes, golf bags, Springbok Food hampers, Calloway sports pack, rounds of golf, mini golf and Topgolf Swing Suite vouchers from The Club at Parkwood, as well as a Nespresso machine from King's Pimpama P&F. King's exclusive use of the immaculate course made the day even more enjoyable and the perfect weather added to the vibrant mood on the green. Before teams teed off in the morning sun, they were treated to bacon and egg rolls and then briefed by the Club. 

Players jumped into their golf buggies for 18 holes of friendly, yet serious, game of golf based on the Ambrose format. Competition was high among many of the King's staff from the various campuses, as well as parents and businessmen who have supported the event since its inception three years ago. The title for the best-dressed team was won once again by team Who's Your Caddy (Kylie Fitzgerald, Allegra and Carter Hayden, from Year 12 at Reedy Creek, and Shonel Alloway) who 'rode' onto the greens as cowboys and cowgirls and also took home top honours, claiming first team prize with an Ambrose score of 44.
