Summer Series Results

29/09/2012

The last event of the Summer Challenge was played at the Creek this weekend and produced great finale to the series when Dean Moss pipped close rivals Gavin Hitzeroth and Archie Gemmell in the very last round. It was always going to be close, but Dean scored an impressive 38 points that, together with his earlier scores of 36 and 34 points respectively gave him 108 points overall, 3 points ahead of Archie and Gavin who both aggregated 105 points (best 3 scores from the four events of the Summer Series).

Not surprisingly, Dean also won this week’s event at the Creek, though it was on a count-back as Kader Tazerout also had an equally impressive round of 38 points. A further point adrift was Tim Collins who picked up third place. Nearest the pins were won by Amit Khandelwal (5th), Rupendra Chetri (8th) and Frank Bishop (14th and 16th).

We hope you all enjoyed the series and it was great to see both the “usual suspects” but also some new faces coming to these events. As mentioned in the presentation ceremony, the “high” season is now upon us and we have an action packed calendar of events for you - the first one, the EKFC Club Championship, is now open for registration on the website, followed by the Boeing event to be hosted at Abu Dhabi National, in November - this will open for registration shortly. We also have the Captain’s Day (and an evening family BBQ) in December at the Ranches and the OnAir Days in January and February (at both the Fire and Earth courses). All the exact dates and timings are now confirmed and are available on the website to put in your diaries.

We were excited to have Boeing back as one of our key sponsors and, as in previous years, they were extremely generous and put on a great show. Hosted on the Earth course, the weather and conditions were sublime with some groups of players taking full advantage of them.

The format was a 4-man team event, with all net scores counting on par 5s, three scores counting on par 3s and two scores counting on par 3s. Dominic Breach, Shorty Callow, Kevin Howe and Ross Mackie took home the spoils with a combined score of 115 points, 2 points clear of their nearest rivals - Alex Robinson, Hasni Samad, Rosslee Wahid and Rob Tingle. In third place, a further four points adrift on 109 points were the team of Gareth Conley, Neil Lakhani, Mark Burtonwood and Richard Simpson. Nearest the pins were won by Craig Berry (4), Hannah Mannion (6), Tim Collins (17) and Dominic Breach (17). And finally, the 777 Boeing Prizes (three competitions of hole 7) were won by Alex Robinson (nearest to the pin in three shots), Longest putt (Stuart Dall) and Bastian Koster (straightest drive).

Many thanks again to Boeing for a wonderful day out!

Trump International hosted our annual Club Championships this year and due to several Tour players practising here during the week, the course was in stunning and "tour-like" conditions (tough pin placements and speedy greens). This didn\'t stop Seb Hall being crowned the overall Club Champion in a tightly contested match with all players struggling to overcome the difficult set-up. He won with a gross 29 points (78 equivalent) one point clear of second-placed Dominic Breach. The nett division was won by Dr Darryl Atkins scoring an impressive 37 points - his nearest rival, Justin Wee, was a further 4 points adrift.
