“After a long, competitive season competing at 11 events, I am extremely proud of our exceptional golf team for not only their individual performances but their collective win of the Overall Team Nett Winners for 2022/23. Students have shown fantastic commitment to their golf games all year and have performed incredibly well! It has been the most successful season for Shrewsbury Riverside and I’d like to thank Chris and the FORE Management team for the outstanding opportunities they have provided for our golfers this year.”  Jason Bilinkewycz, Head of You-Time & Performance Leader of Golf, Shrewsbury Riverside.

We would like to extend a well-deserved congratulations to the our 2022-2023 Tour Champion teams, but also to each and every team that made this season the success that is was.

While this opening paragraph was certainly written with intent of reeling you in.  It could never describe exactly how amazing this season was.  To see the dedication amongst not only the student athletes, but the coaches, parents, officials; there was really no alternative ending possible.  It was going to be something great because they all put something great into it, at every event.

Each season the talent level increases exponentially.  At each event this season, there was an average of just over 100 golfers of which 10% of golfers scored under par.  Each student not only learns the valuable individual skills and discipline, but competing under pressure in singles competitive golf. The team format gives them the pride of representing their school and helps them to learn to work as a cohesive group to overcome setbacks, and accomplish a common goal. This certainly will prepare them for the next level(s) of competitive golf, it also is laying the foundations to prepare them for whatever the future may have in store for them.

“The International School Golf Tour has now been running for four years, this year it comprised of 11 events all over Thailand, I would personally thank all the students and schools for their support throughout the year. A special congratulations for Shrewsbury International School our Nett Team Champions and American School the Gross Team Champions.”   He continued, “Moving forward to next season the schedule is set and are looking forward to another great season, with our main goal being to enhance the students experience continuing to prepare them to be in the best position possible for their golf future.”
