OnAir Day 01 and Match vs British Airways

15/11/2013

Dear All,

\r\n\r\n

We have opened registration for two events - (1) next month�s OnAir Day, details below and (2) we would like to ascertain interest to play in a Ryder Cup style 2-day team event against British Airways in early February. Details of this second one is shown in the event details but in summary it is on the 7th and 8th of February at the Arabian Ranches at an estimated cost of Dhs 750 (for non-Members of the Ranches), which includes both rounds.

\r\n\r\n

The event details for the first of the OnAir Days are as indicated below:

\r\n\r\n

Date: Friday, 6th December
\r\nTime: 0730
\r\nVenue: Earth, JGE
\r\nCost: Dhs 200 for Members; (Dhs 400 for Guests)

\r\n\r\n

Registration to the event is on a first-come, first-served basis, though EGS Members will always have priority over Guests. Furthermore, Emirates Group staff will have priority over Associate Members if an event is oversubscribed.

\r\n\r\n

Please note, the usual conditions apply (i.e. �no-shows� and cancellations once registration is closed will be charged a penalty of Dhs 300 irrespective of reason and/or whether we can fill your slot with a reserve - Society Members are responsible for their guests in this instance also).

\r\n\r\n

See you there!

\r\n\r\n

Kind Regards,
\r\nCommittee
\r\nEmirates Golf Society

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.
