The Kinkaid Open - 2026

This long-time running tournament honors the memory of Coach Zack Semander, a beloved mathematics teacher and golf coach at Kinkaid for over 30 years, husband of Harriett Semander Honorary Alumna ‘23, father of Elena Semander ‘79, Maria Semander Crawford ‘82, JoAnna Semander Nicolaou ‘84, John Semander ‘88, and grandfather of Ace Nicolaou ‘17, Zack Nicolaou ‘20, and Pete Nicolaou ‘23.

This year’s tournament honors Tom Moore, who retired this year after 25 years as Kinkaid’s Director of Advancement. Through his visionary leadership, Tom led transformational fundraising efforts, including the successful ALL In campaign, and inspired generations of families, alumni and friends to invest in Kinkaid’s future. Tom and his wife, Jennifer, are the proud parents of Eddie Moore ‘06 and Laura Moore Dols.

The Kinkaid Open Steering Committee holds the tournament at Westwood Golf Club where players enjoy lunch, a round of golf, and an awards reception following the event.
