Golf in Cyprus

18/02/2009

We would like to ascertain the interest in a weekend of Golf in May which is being organised by our colleagues in Cyprus. Exact details are shown in the message below, and the cost excluding flights will be around 1000AED:

The idea is to organise a Golf Tournament in Cyprus specifically for EK group staff. I have already made initial enquiries with the best Golf club on the island \" Aphrodite Hills\" at the Intercontinental Hotel situated between Limassol and Paphos. I must say that the Club has taken a liking to this idea and they have given me a very attractive package.

My idea is to get as many Golfers from around our network to meet up in Cyprus and enjoy 1 afternoon and 1 morning of Golf in a top notch Golf Course set in beautiful surroundings with added facilities such as a hotel, restaurants, shops and spa.

The way the flight schedule to LCA is set makes this idea even more possible. Golfers will arrive in LCA airport on Friday 08th 22nd May at 11.15hrs (-please note change of date). I anticipate that we can be on the Golf course by 2.30pm maximum 3.00pm. The transfer from the airport to the hotel is of approx one and half hours. Due to the late sunset this will enable us to play a good 4 hours of golf. The second round will be played on Saturday morning followed by lunch and the presentation. The flight back to DXB departs LCA at 20.10hrs giving us ample time. Flights are still wide open for standby staff and I do not envisage any problems.

The Package price of Euro228 per person includes the following when sharing a double/twin room. In case of use of single room the total package is Euro312 per person..

2 x green fees including buggy.

1 night stay at the Intercontinental Hotel

1 buffet lunch at the Clubhouse

Prizes for the trophy presentation

2 tokens (2 x 42 golf balls) to practice on the driving range.

2 x 2 bottles of water on the buggy

Seat on coach transfers from the airport to the hotel and vice versa.

Besides the above the Golf Club will manage the total administration of the tournament from start to finish so that we can just enjoy ourselves. Not included in the above is the cost of staff tickets..

I am hoping to have a least 40 participants at the first try. Whilst hoping you find the above proposal attractive I look forward to receiving your feedback. We can then discuss the best way forward.

Thanks & regards

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

16/01/2023

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.
