A Strong Finish to the Year
Terms 2 and 3 have showcased the continued growth and competitive success of our golf program. With regional tournament victories, outstanding individual performances, and remarkable achievements outside the school programme, our golfers have demonstrated the progress made through consistent training, dedication, and a genuine love for the game.
Fobisia Golf – Hosted by British School Manila in Clark, Philippines (15th-19th March)
Our team travelled to the Philippines for the Fobisia Golf Championship at the renowned Mimosa Plus Golf Course. The tournament featured a unique format combining a 27-hole team scramble and 36-hole individual stroke play, providing an excellent test of both teamwork and individual skill.
The two contrasting courses, one parkland and one mountain, offered distinct challenges that our golfers embraced enthusiastically. Our team performed excellently in the scramble format, and the experience of competing on such a high-quality course in a different country strengthened team bonds considerably.
Outstanding Individual Performances:
- Tonsol – 3rd overall in U15 Boys’ Gross
- Claire – 4th overall in U15 Girls’ Gross
- Torres – 4th overall in U13 Boys
- Mia – 3rd overall in U15 Girls’ Nett
- Hei Hei – 10th overall in Girls’ Nett
Beyond the competition, the trip provided wonderful team bonding moments, with students exploring the local culture, enjoying Jolibee’s fried chicken at every opportunity, and discovering that trying a different 7/11 was a genuine highlight! These moments of camaraderie and fun are just as important as the competitive results.

Personal Triumphs Outside the School Programme
The success of our golfers extends far beyond school competitions. Several of our students have achieved notable performances in external tournaments, representing the values and standards we instil in our program.
JJ’s RBSC Success
JJ won the RBSC U18 Junior Section at their April internal junior event—an excellent individual achievement at one of Bangkok’s most prestigious golf clubs.
Charn’s Exceptional Tournament Success
Charn (Y6) has demonstrated outstanding competitive performance throughout the spring season, achieving multiple victories and placements in prestigious junior tournaments:
- GAD Thailand Championship 2026 – Winner (D Boys class) on 26 April 2026
- ISGT Junior Team Invitation 2026 – Winner (nett) on 27 April 2026
- ISGT Golf Tournament (Wellington College) – Winner in Development Tour (handicap 17, D Boys)
- Junior Champions Tour 2026 – 1st Runner Up (D Boys class)
Charn’s consistent success across multiple tournaments demonstrates the benefits of competing regularly in external competitions and his dedication to continuous improvement.
Lauren’s Outstanding Spring Campaign
Lauren (Y4) has demonstrated exceptional dedication to junior golf competitions throughout the spring season, achieving several notable results:
In April, she competed in the U.S. Kids Thailand Championship at Black Mountain Golf Club, competing in the D Division for the first time. Despite stepping up to a more challenging level, Lauren recorded solid rounds of 76, 86, and 86 over three days.
Building on this experience, Lauren enjoyed a particularly successful weekend of competition in May. On May 16, she won the E Division title with an impressive score of 72 (+2). The following day, May 17, she claimed another victory with a score of 72 (+7), securing the title after an exciting two-hole playoff.
These competitions have provided Lauren with invaluable opportunities to develop resilience, focus, and composure under pressure while competing against strong junior golfers from across the region.
Junior Golf Series (JGS) Development
Several of our younger golfers—Candy, Hei Hei, Yu yu, DinDin, and JinJin—are actively participating in the First Stage Tour of the Junior Golf Series. This involvement provides invaluable opportunities to develop their skills and gain tournament experience while competing with players of diverse abilities and backgrounds.
Beyond the technical aspects of golf, the JGS has proven instrumental in developing important qualities such as sportsmanship, resilience, and strategic thinking. The competition has also fostered meaningful friendships, strengthened peer support networks, and created close bonds within our junior golfing community.
Our golfers have maintained a high level of performance throughout the series, consistently demonstrating dedication and perseverance. Their efforts have been rewarded with several runner-up finishes across multiple tours—a testament to their commitment and improving standards.
These performances at premier local clubs, in regional junior championships, and within structured junior golf series highlight the quality of golfers we are developing and their ability to compete successfully outside of the school programme.
Season 3 Focus: Consolidation and Execution
Throughout Season 3, we continued to develop our golfers’ rules knowledge while placing a strong emphasis on scoring and course management. Our focus has been on:
- Taking Opportunities – Converting scoring chances into results
- Shot Planning – Thoughtful course strategy and approach selection
- Landing Zones and Conditions – Understanding how conditions and pin placements affect shot selection
- Rules Mastery – Continuing to build comprehensive knowledge of the rules of golf
This focus on the fundamentals of scoring excellence has directly contributed to the strong results we’ve seen throughout the latter part of the year.
Farewell to Our Year 13 Golfers
As the season draws to a close, we say farewell to three long-time members of our golf program: Paul (our boys’ captain), Kaede, and Lucas. Their commitment, leadership, and dedication to the program have been invaluable, and we wish them well in their future endeavours.
Looking Forward
Terms 2 and 3 have been a testament to the hard work and commitment of our entire golf community. From the 40 students in our Senior Team and Development Squad to the parents who support them, coaches who develop them, and the teachers who give their time to enable our program—thank you.
As we look ahead to next season, we’re excited to build on the momentum established this year and continue to provide opportunities for our golfers to compete, develop, and enjoy the game we love.
Congratulations to all our golfers on an exceptional 2025/26 season.
