Keen athlete and golfer Ed Daly proved himself to be the fastest golfer in Bahrain after winning a Speed Golf tournament at the Royal Golf Club.
Daly's score was 163.57 putting him just three seconds ahead of second-placed Martin Robinson, a PGA teaching professional at the Club. The team relay was won by the squad of Steve Newall, Rob Lane and his sons - Richard and Andrew - with a total score of 161.47.
"It was Ed's idea to introduce Speed Golf to Bahrain so it's only fitting that he should win the title in our first ever tournament," said Phil Jones, the Royal Golf Club's director of golf. "Twenty-five golfers took part in the event and nearly BD1,200 was raised in sponsorship money."
Daly will take part in the Flora London Marathon later this month as part of the St John Ambulance team and saw a Speed Golf event as a great way to raise additional sponsorship cash for the charity.
