\r\n\r\n

As can be seen, we have reinstated a Summer Series event this year, primarily because we have been given an excellent rate at the Arabian Ranches during this period. We are also continuing our use of both the JGE courses for some of our large sponsored events - not only do we think they have two of the best courses in Dubai, they also allow for Shotgun starts and remain relatively good value compared to some others.

\r\n\r\n

As the new season is upon us, we are also collecting subs - these will remain the same at Dhs 250. Therefore, can you pay at your earliest convenience.

\r\n\r\n

I also speak on behalf of all the Committee Members, that we have enjoyed serving and participating in what we believe is a great and thriving Society - many thanks for your continued patronage and participation.

\r\n\r\n

Kind Regards,
\r\nTim 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!

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.
