Hussain Salem wins best overall, while Nasser Yaqoob Saleh wins the Medal!

In the last competition of this disrupted season, it was Hussain Salem showing his great skills as he shot 3 under his hcp to card a net 67. His gross score was 73, and it made Nasser Yaqoob Saleh play his very best to be one shot better, gross 72 for the Medal. The windy conditions made for a pleasantly cool experience, however also providing a tricky dilema for the players for both club selections and choices of trajectories.

As always the prize giving was preceeded by a delicious dinner. As our season has been impacted by the regional tension, as the course was closed for nearly two months, we are all grateful to play again. Normally the season ends with the Winners Trophy and Consolation Cup, however we are already moving into the summer season, so from now it's time for the various club societies to play their weekly socials. We are already looking forward to hopefully enjoying a full season of competitions begining again at the end of September.
The prizes were handed out by TD Rashed Al Qutami and Captain Steve Newall.

Rashed Al Qutami edges out Abdulla Al Jowher in first competition in 2 months!

After being closed for obvious reasons, Awali Golf Club had opened again over a week ago, and the mild temperatures allowed for an 18-hole Stableford competition last Friday. As most players had not been playing too much, expectations were low, as joy of playing was more important than anything else. The windy conditions made it difficult, but also 'cooled down' the players' brains and encouraged the making of sensible shots and decisions.

Rashed Al Qutami made the most of it, making many pars, 3 bogeys and 2 birdies to shoot 37 points. Meanwhile, Abdulla Al Jowher started off hole 10 with bogeys and some pars, but later on in his round he really kicked it up a gear, collecting many points. As for countback after a tied score, the next to look at is the back nine, on which Rashed performed the best, earning him the win! The prizes were handed out on the terrace by the AGC Captain Steve Newall.

Results:

Rashed Al Qutami 37 points

Abdulla Al Jowaher 37 points

Salah Musbah Al Kaabi 35 points

Abdulrahim Fakhroo 35 points

Benedikt Schwerm 34 points

Nathan Prince 34 points

Daniel Guillaume 34 points

Next week, with the help of cool weather, and a forcasted breeze a Club Medal will be held.

Singh is 'Kingh' in the 57th Kanoo Cup

For the 57th Kanoo Cup the conditions were great, which showed by the many great scores posted by the players. One player stood out, Balbir Singh, as a previous winner he has a special motivation bringing out his best game when the Abdulla Ali Kanoo Cup is held. Playing of a 12 hcp, Balbir got into his groove making pars and bogeys, resulting in a front nine of only 3 over and continued collecting pars and bogeys, finishing in a gross 77 making a net 65, great consistency displayed and taking the win by one shot over Susan Scott, who shot a great round of 66 net.

The Medal for the best gross was highly contested, Lee McIlear who played his last competition round at Awali couldn't have finished better with an eagle on the last hole, shooting 70 gross. It wasn't enough though, as Nasser Yaqoob Saleh did it one shot better! A string of 3 birdies on the front made him being 1 under the course and a flawless back nine with 9 pars in a row meant a round of 69, winning him the Medal as the best gross score of the 57th Abdulla Ali Kanoo Cup!

The prizes were handed out by TD Rashed Al Qutami and Captain Steve Newall and Ahmed Kanoo as Director of the Kanoo Group. Ahmed was looking forward to the day of the 100th Kanoo Cup, which shows the mutual great respect and support. The dinner and the music made a great end to a beautiful day of golf!

It was a great round for Bhaksi, who broke 90 gross along the way and scored points on all holes, totalling 40 points. Highlight was a chip in for birdie on hole 14,a feat copied by Debbie Beedie in equally brilliant style.

Bhaksi was just one shot ahead of both Nathan Prince and Abdul Elah Fakhroo, who scored 39 points each. As conditions were great to play, 9 players scored equal or better than their handicap and many were close.
