Annie Stockman Memorial – Her Legacy Lives On

 

Annie Stockman Memorial – Her Legacy Lives On

At the heart of The Ultimate Golf Challenge is a story of passion, friendship, and adventure — and at the very beginning of that story is Annie Stockman.

Annie wasn’t just a co-founder of the Ultimate Golf Challenge. She was its spark. Her love of travel, her deep connection to people, and her unique ability to make every event feel like a family reunion made UGC what it is today.

Together with her husband Tim Ireland, Annie helped organize and lead over 50 international golf events across China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Dubai, the United States, and Europe. Her vision was clear: create unforgettable experiences for people who live and breathe golf, while building meaningful connections and having fun every step of the way.

Her joyful spirit, warm heart, and fierce determination are woven into every event we run — and every swing we take.

To honor her legacy, we’ve named one of our cornerstone events:

The Annie Stockman Memorial Challenge
A celebration of her life, her vision, and the community she helped create.

Every time we step onto a tee box, greet a new traveler, or share a post on this blog, we carry Annie’s memory forward. She reminded us that golf is about more than just scores — it’s about people, purpose, and enjoying the hit.

We miss her deeply. But we know she’s with us, every round, every trip, and every challenge.

Thank you, Annie. Your legacy lives on.
