Results (Al Badia and Jebel Ali)

09/09/2009

Below is an update and results from the last two events (Jebel Ali and the 2nd round of the Al Badia / Microsoft Summer Challenge).

Jebel Ali: Saturday 5th Sep

Although there was a small turnout, some great golf was played with Pete Lindsay taking the spoils with a great score of 40 points! Close on his heels were two relatively new members: Steve Allen with 38 points and Ryan Carter on 34 points. Mike Wells and Jason Kendall took the "Nearest the Pin" prizes. Please note that the prize giving will be done at the next event at Al Badia on 25th September.

Al Badia: Saturday 25th July

This was the second round of the Microsoft-sponsored Summer Challenge at Al Badia, and at stake are some lovely Xboxs together, with the latest Tiger Woods 2010 game, which according to my sources is "awesome"! The overall event was won by another Pete - this time it was Peter Dally who won with 40 points, another great achievement given the summer heat. This puts Pete in a very good position to win the Division 2 category, although there are others snapping at his heels. Paul Nightingale came a close second with 39 points and again this puts him in an excellent position in the Division 1 category. Last, but not least, one of our guests on the day, Paul Fisher, who came a close third with 37 points. The "Nearest the Pin" prizes went to Paul Fisher and Roger Duthie.

Registration is now open for the final round of the Microsoft-sponsored Summer Challenge at Al Badia and one good round from any player could be enough to win the spoils. Details of the event are:

Date: Saturday 25th September

Time: 1230 rolling start, (however we are trying to get a 1300 shotgun start arranged)

Venue: Al Badia

Price: AED 350/-

We will be having the main prize-giving directly after the event and cold drinks and sandwiches will be being served. All prizes from the previous four events will be handed out also. You will also be pleased to know that even if you haven't won an Xbox through your golfing prowess, there will be another opportunity as we will be having a small raffle during the prize ceremony to win one (together with the Tiger Woods game)!

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

Tim Collins

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.
