Please note the following:

Please bring cash to pay for the event on the day (cards will not be accepted).
Teams have been balanced by handicaps, therefore consideration was not taken for preferred partnerships.
The format is a 4-man team event - you will all play your own ball as though it is a stableford and the best three (of the four) NET scores will be counted on each hole. Therefore, if the three of the four best scores on a hole are NET pars, the team would score 6 points (2 points being contributed by each of the best three players). Can you ensure you score all players score and net stableford points on each hole to ensure the club can check at the end.
Handicaps: Each player will get 3/4 of their EGF course handicap or Society handicap, whichever is lower. Therefore, if a player has a handicap of 18, they would get 14 shots (13.5 rounded up to 14). If a player has a handicap of 19, they would also get 14 shots (14.25 rounded down).

Event details are as indicated below:

Date: Saturday, 1st March
Time: 07:30
Venue: Earth, JGE
Cost: Dhs 200 for Members

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).

Results: Boeing Golf Day (18-Feb)

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.
