AWALI Golf Club (AGC) will be hosting the BH-UK-200 Open Golf Day on Friday, November 4, joining in a calendar of events to mark the 200th anniversary of the relationship between Bahrain and the UK.
The competition will be sponsored by Bapco and Mohammed Jalal & Sons to recognise the significant role Bapco and sport in general have played in the development of the kingdom over the last 80 years.
Entry to the 18-hole stroke-play event will be open to all Bahrain-based golfers with a valid golf handicap. There will be shotgun starts at 7am and 1pm.
It will be free for AGC members and BD10 for non-members and will include a prize-giving supper at 6pm.
Club Captain Bill Scarth said: “As the oldest golf course in the region, the Awali Golf Club is delighted to be hosting the BHUK 200 Open Golf Competition.
“Celebrating the 200 year relationship between the UK and Bahrain, the competition allows any handicapped golfer on the island the chance to pit their skills against the legendary ‘Awali bounce’ and also sample the equally legendary ‘AGC hospitality’.
“We have been providing golfing competitions to Bahraini, British and many other nationalities of golfers for the last 79 years and, just as Bahrain is renowned for the warmth of its welcome, so too is AGC!”
