The weather was picture perfect on October 18th for the Palm Beach Air Conditioning Contractors Association (PBACCA) 23rd Annual Golf Tournament at the beautiful Winston Trails Golf Club. Twenty four teams of golfers teed off at 8:30 a.m. after starting the morning with the Bottle Bash Contest, where players had chances to putt and win fun prizes before heading out on the course.
President Steve Castillo joined in the festivities, presenting awards and prizes to the tournament winners and contest champions. Congratulations to our winners:
1st Place – Ben Walker, Joe Vonstetten, Bain Monteith, and Jason Canuto of Ferguson
2nd Place – Craig Sanscrainte, Brad Lindstrom, Mike Nicolas, and Mathew Daniele of Ferguson
3rd Place – Randy Castricone, Paul Cleary, Heidi Bauer, and Kevin Beatty of iFLO Pro
Contest winners included Riley Klaus of Klaus AC for the Longest Drive, Kevin Farrell for the Straightest Drive, and Tim Klaus of Klaus AC for winning the Bottle Bash Contest.
We were also delighted to welcome Florida Refrigeration and Air Conditoning Contractors Association (FRACCA) ACCA staff, Paula Huband, who spoke to attendees about the upcoming FRACCA Conference in Orlando, April 8–12, 2026.
