11th Annual Wine Cellar Golf & Fishing Tournament

#TurksandCaicos, March 18, 2022 – The 11^th Annual Wine Cellar Golf & Fishing Tournament (WCGFT) took place on 10^th March – 13^th March, 2022 and was once again a success! Thursday, 10^th March the tournament kicked off with the Calcutta at Simone’s Bar & Grill where captains entered a friendly bidding war for rights for their respective vessels.

The next two mornings, 15 boats took off from Leeward Cut in a mad dash to get to their favourite fishing spots. It was rough going both fishing days and the fish caught was far less than in previous years, but the excitement remained the same. The fish auction followed, and Restaurateurs and the general public had the opportunity to purchase fresh Tuna, Mahi Mahi and Wahoo at phenomenal prices.

At the presentation ceremony the excited winners of this year’s competition celebrated with their fellow anglers as trophies were hoisted, checks received and cheers of joy and camaraderie. The fun continued into the night with the DJ playing all the favourites, dancing and of course fish tales about the “one that got away”.

Sunday afternoon’s Golf Tournament (Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club) was the highlight of the event for all Golf Enthusiasts. An exciting round of 18-hole golf on a perfect day. The presentation ceremony followed, where the top players were awarded prizes that ranged from trophies and golf bags to fine Champagne and Gift Certificates. The traditional Raffle Draw took place with three amazing prizes up for grabs. A Breitling Endurancee Pro watch (Jai’s), Dinner for 4 under the stars with complimentary wine (Bay Bistro), and Dinner for 4 Show/Buffet/Dicso (Club Med).
