Dec 23rd Faldo Front 9

On Monday evening, we had a smaller group as Christmas was right around the corner and lots of people were rushing to get everything ready in time. The die hard golfers were out in cooler than usual weather whereby wool hats, sweaters, jackets and long pants were required ! The group average was only 12 - which is slightly less than usual, but a good average considering the conditions Id say.

In first place, a big congratulations to Jean Charles Hut who scored 16 points.
We had a three way tie for second place between Fathi Busaidy, Pedro Kafie and Russell Yeomans with 15 points each.

What a strange day for golf ! A massive sandstorm hit Dubai around 5 pm, just like in the movie Mission Impossible. We got to Meydan early where the golf was declared cancelled if conditions stayed like that... understandably, people cancelled, but the keen die hard golfers found their way to Meydan. By 6:30 pm or so, the storm subsided and we were able to play. It turned into a beautiful evening for golf, with cooler than usual conditions.

It was a slightly different format with a winner for individual and pairs, as well as the NTP.

Sept 7th Montgomerie Weekend Event

After many outstanding weekend events at different courses around the region, Russell and I decided it was time to bring the society to The Montgomerie, our home course.

We made a Committee decision to use 3/4 EGF handicaps instead of the society handicaps to make an even playing field for our regular members & newcomers. And, we also introduced a betterball pairs competition in addition to our individual stableford comp.

The day was a great success with a full field, and a good time was had by all. The weather was not too hot, the golf course was in super condition & we were in good company.

We had generous sponsors for this event! Russell and I would like THANK the following:

• The Montgomerie for providing a golf voucher for 2 people
• Emirates Golf Club for providing 2 x Faldo golf vouchers for 2 people
• Mr & Mrs Hut for providing an Arabian Ranches golf certificate
