Abdalla Al Musharrekh has won the final UAE monthly medal of the season – and family bragging rights in the process after piping his father to the title.
It was a close run thing at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club with Abdalla winning on a count back from Mohammed Al Musharrekh after son and father finished with 36 stableford points on Saturday. Abdalla also recorded the leading gross score, a 7-over-par 78.
UAE national team player Reema Al Heloo was third overall with 35 points with the A (0-14 handicap) and B (14-24 handicap) divisions were scooped by Daood Jaffal with Rashid Al Qubaisi with 34 and 35 points respectively.
Rashid Al Jassmey capped a promising season by winning the juni0r competition among 20 members of the National Foundation Squad with a gross score of 30 on the Creek’s Par 3 Academy course, one clear of Mohammed Skaik. Abdulla Kalbat was third with a 33.
The next event for Emirati golfers is the Dubai Duty Free National Cup on May 5 at Arabian Ranches Golf Club.
