First round of Dubai Golf summer series in full swing
Dubai: The new Dubai Golf Summer Series started at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on Saturday.
The first round sponsored by Ping witnessed a strong field of 86 players making a start to their campaign to reach the grand final at Emirates Golf Club on September 5.
Two players scored an amazing 38 points from their ¾ handicap allowance and by virtue of a superb back nine of 22 points M.R Rajalekha takes the winner spoils and a place at the top of the series leader board.
Y.J Kim just missed out and finished two points clear in second place. Sami Butt (EGF) finished in 3rd place on 36 points and also scoring 36 points Rigel Fernandes (EGC) picked up the best gross prize with great 34 gross points.
Two nearest the pins were snapped up by two great shots from Dan Weisser .
Over the series the best three of potentially five stableford scores will determine the final field that will surely be a highly competitive day over the very testing Majilis course, venue for the Dubai Desert Classic.
