Saturday March 22^nd Arabian Ranches

Great day at the Ranches this Saturday – apologies for over testing particularly our male members off the Gold tees – helps explain why we had true female domination in the winners. Thanks for Andrea, Mais and DWC for sponsoring the day including the hats, prizes and the post round buffet. DWC also gave us take away packs including diaries and USB’s so remember to spread the DWC word (best value freezone office real estate in Dubai with Expo 2020 coming and amazing Aerotropolis concept plus 3 golf course development due in 2 years – inshallah)  to your network.

Monday March 10^th

This weeks victors were Simon Earl and Ian Haughton with 17 points, edging Russell Yeomans on 16 points – all well above the average of 12 points this week – so well done gentlemen and a severe handicap shaving is the result.

Nearest the pins were Filip Ranebo and OB Sealey (good birdie sir) – a full field again and a lively bar as a result. Welcome to Chris Othen and welcome back David Jordon and Sia Harandi.


Monday March 3^rd – Eclectic 6 Round 3

A new winner this week - Donal O’Donaghue stormed to the top of the leaderboard after a previous distinctly slow start with the society. His 19 points blew away the field with Dave Minchin (AVE sponsor)and the in form Kristi Sealey coming second equal on 16 points. Nearest the pin winners were newcomer Derek Daley and the delightful Nicola Milton.

We welcomed Derek Daley, Lee Grimes and Andrew Lewin, all fine golfers and decent folk! Excellent atmosphere again in M’s and the staff continue to really look after us there.
