The Jamaica Golf Association/UWI Golf Development Foundation was established in 1998 in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of The University of the West Indies. It was agreed then that each year a Golf Tournament would be held to raise funds to create and maintain a Scholarship Fund to enable suitably qualified and talented persons to acquire tertiary education at the UWI while pursuing excellence in the sport of golf. On Sunday, July 13 during Convocation Week, the eleventh staging of the UWI Golf Classic will take place at the panoramic Caymanas Golf & Country Club just outside Kingston. The starting time for the tournament is 7:00 a.m. Players will complete an 18-hole course in groups of four, individual Modified Stableford format, off full USGA Handicap. There are many fabulous prizes to be won but the top golfer in the competition will be awarded the coveted Vice Chancellor’s Trophy. Entry fee is US$100 which includes the green fees, cart & caddie, tee gift, range balls, UWI 60th souvenir golf shirt, Continental breakfast and on-course refreshment and Awards Cocktail Reception.
