The Royal Golf Club this week announced that Audi Bahrain has come on board as the main sponsor of the club’s 13th annual National Day Golf Tournament which will take place on December 16 and 17 on the Montgomerie championship golf course.
The 36-hole, two-day event, which was created to promote friendship and unity between Bahrainis and expatriate residents on the island, will feature 50 expat golfers paired up with 50 Bahraini players.
The first day of competition will be played in the two-player scramble format while day two will be played in the two-player better ball format. Awal Sports International will co-sponsor the event, providing side contest prizes for both days of the competition.
The event will include an international breakfast for all the competitors on day one and a traditional Bahraini breakfast on day two, followed by a morning shotgun start on both days.
Day two will conclude with a prize-giving ceremony and an ‘East meets West Lunch’ where the winning pair with the best two-day aggregate score will be announced.
The tournament has traditionally been very well supported by both Bahrainis and expats, who all enter into the spirit of the occasion by donning red and white golfing attire in respect for Bahrain’s National Day.
“We’re very excited to have Behbehani Brothers and Audi Bahrain on board for this very popular tournament,” said Stephen Havrilla, the Royal Golf Club’s general manager. “We generally have well over 100 competitors of all ages and nationalities taking part and we’re looking forward to an equally successful event this year marking Bahrain’s National Day.”
