Doha College visited over the weekend to play a match against the St Christopher’s School Golf Team and compete in the Bahrain Junior Open. They brought a very strong team with several single figure handicaps and a scratch golfer who is only 12.
The golfers were up at 7am and this may have had an effect on the St Chris players who ended the first day 5 shots behind their visitors with a score of 433 to their 428. One player who obviously didn’t mind the early start was Lorenzo Fantechi who shot an excellent Nett 65.
Day two saw a much better performance from the St Chris golfers and they managed to record a 4 shot victory by 874 to 878. This was helped by a magnificent Nett 62 by Nayel Borshaid. In fact, when added to his first day score of Nett 67 Nayel managed to win the Overall Nett prize in the Under 16 category.
Faris Brough, the St Chris Golf Captain, collected the trophy and is determined to hold onto it when the return match is held in Qatar during the winter term at the Doha Golf Club.
