DUBAI OPEN UPDATE

This week we have James Yeomans and Tyler Hogarty participating as professionals in the Asia tour event at the Els – Thursday – Sunday (there will be a 2 day cut). Please get along to support them if you can – I am sure they will appreciate it and it will be another great opportunity to see some great golfers close up including Darren Clarke, David Howell, Tommy Fleetwood, David Lipsky, Thaworn Wiratchant and Jeev Milka Singh plus the top 5 from the current Thailand Open. You may see me carrying some clubs around. James and Tyler are now registered professionals and it may be interesting to know that their EGF handicaps over the last 3 months based on their MENA tour performance are +6 for James and +7 for Tyler! We wish them every success.
