Summit Keir Wilkinson Memorial Golf Tournament 2025

The fourth Summit Keir Wilkinson Memorial Golf Tournament took place on Friday, September 19^th, at the Nelson Golf Club, with 37 teams teeing off for a great cause: supporting the Nelson Tasman Hospice. It was a full day of fun, friendly competition, and an exciting auction, all raising an incredible $80,827!

Since it started in 2022, this heartfelt event has now raised over $290,000 for Nelson Tasman Hospice.

It was a sunny Friday and spirits were high! The golfers were well looked after with goodie bags for each team and delicious fish burgers, bacon butties, steak sandwiches, chicken kebabs, beef burgers and a sausage sizzle dotted all the way around the course thanks to sponsors E’stel Water, Sealords, New World Stoke & Motueka, Bidfood, Mad Butcher, Raeward Butchery and Scott Construction.

Each hole on the golf course was sponsored by local businesses keen to support Nelson Tasman Hospice and these sponsorships added to the impressive total raised. Our hole sponsors in 2025 were: Summit Real Estate, Summit Stoke, Forsyth Barr, The Car Company, Murchison Motels, Fitzgerald Construction, Nelson Interiors/Neltech, NTAY Contracting, Coman Construction, Kiwi Journeys, New World Stoke, Pak n Save, Bob Pugh Builders, Orange Joinery, MS Ford, Brown and Associates, Craigs Investment Partners, Summit Richmond, Spark, Mediaworks, Noel Leeming. Many of these sponsors have been part of the tournament every year and we are very thankful for their support.

Brown & Associates took out the top spot as winning team—well done! And a big shoutout to the team from Kiwi Journeys for securing second place.

The team prizes this year were generously donated by: PING Golf, Summit Real Estate, Spark, NBS, Caythorpe Wines, Total Golf, Tasman Mako and Goldpine.
