ASCA in Spain (June 2013):

\r\n\r\n

We are also looking at sending a team (or teams) to the World Airline Golf Tournament to be hosted by Iberia in Spain. We don’t have exact details yet but have been sent this message:

\r\n\r\n

\r\n
Dear Delegates,
\r\n\r\n
Although it isn�t officially confirmed yet the exact dates, I can assure you almost 100% that the ASCA 2013 Golf Tournament will be celebrated in Spain the first week of June (5, 6,7 & 8 or 6,7,8 & 9, depending on the golf course availability), so reserve your holiday days for that time. Late November or early December I hope we�ll be able to confirm the dates exactly and perhaps other details. We also expect the whole package details to be published early 2013.
\r\n\r\n
It would help us to know how many teams would be interested in participating, so introduce your teams in the homepage at least with the status “INTERESTED” till we publish the package details that permit you confirm your participation.
\r\n\r\n
Thank you for your co-operation.
\r\n\r\n
Best regards,
\r\n\r\n
Paco Puerta\r\nIBERIA ASCA Delegate
\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Could you please register your interest on the link on the Web site - it is, unfortunately, only open to Emirates Group staff (not spouse or honorary members). Once we know exact details, we will be collecting deposits from interested players in early 2013. Previous events have normally been priced around the Euro 400 mark. You may also wish to know that there are some CAT C Firm tickets currently available around that time to Madrid….

Results: Boeing Golf Day (18-Feb)

21/02/2023

Tim Collins

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!

Results: EKG Club Championship 2023

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.
