It is an individual stableford - the Airbus Champion is the player with the most points. There is also a “blind” pairs tournament - each player will be “paired” with a random professional currently playing in the Race-to-Dubai and their score on the day will be combined with yours. We will advise you of your “Pro” on the day! :)

\"Transguard
Transguard Winners

Our inaugural Transguard Golf Day at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club was an incredible success and one we hope to continue going forward.

Winners on the day was the combination of Paul Nightingale and Jon Amplett who scored an impressive 41 points (Paul shot a level par 72 personal best at DCGYC), which was always going to be very hard to beat! Three points further adrift was the team consisting of Geraint Isitt and Craig Williams who carded an excellent 38 points. Finally, Shorty Callow and Ben Wilkins took third with 37 points.

Nearest the pins were won by Tim Collins (5th), Jon Amplett (8th), Simon Hamblelton (14th) and Geraint Isitt (16th).

We would like to express our thanks to Transguard, our sponsors, who I am sure you all agree, put on a very special day for the Society.

02/11/2014

Congratulations to Paul Nightingale who won the SGSC individual stableford - he shot 36 points. He was four ahead of his nearest rivals Peter Boylan and Shorty Callow who both shot 32 points, Peter claimed second due to a better vback-nine.

Nearest-the-pins were won by Paul King (3/12) and Anthony Gilliam (8/17).
