OnAir Results
The second round of the OnAir Golf Day at the Fire course (Jumeirah Golf Estates) provided some very entertaining play, primarily due to the high winds; though this didn’t stop some excellent scores being posted…. However, before we get to who the winner was, here is a little recap from round one played in January: the first round was played at the majestical Earth course and the winner on that day was Dean Moss with 37 points, though there were a host of others snapping at his heels - Tony Benecke (36), Simon Mackenzie (36), Paul Nightingale (34), David Moore (33). All of these and a few others around the fringes were poised well for the second and final round.
Fast-forward a couple of weeks to a wind-swept Fire course, where it was easy to spill a few shots due to the near gale-force conditions. As mentioned earlier, based on this there were some amazing scores posted. Winners of the second OnAir day included a couple of new names: James Walters won the day with a fantastic 39 points with David Moore and Andrew McFarlane sharing second and third respectively, both carding 37 points. However, David’s second-placed finish still wasn’t enough to stop Dean Moss from being crowned OnAir Champion - he carded 35 points on the day, which gave him a combined total of 72 points, 2 points clear of David. Well done Dean (who has been on a bit of a winning streak this year…….).
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the OnAir team of Ian Dawkins and Franck Michaud for providing the sponsorship of the event - it really was a fantastic two-match series and we hope it will be the first of many! Also, our thanks go to the team at Jumeirah Golf Estates who hosted us - both the courses were excellent tests of golf, in great shape and were staffed by a professional and courteous team.
