The young Bahraini pairing of Ali Al Hakamand Ali Al Kowari narrowly won the first competition of a new Monday MadnessNight Golf Series at the Royal Golf Club, sponsored once again by Coca-Cola.
Three pairs of competitors all achieved scores of 23 points in the Pairs Betterball Stableford competition, meaning that the count back system had to be used to determine the winners.
Tapan Vaidya and playing partner Iftikhar Butt were runners-up while husband-and-wife David and Dena Wales came third.
Ali Al Hakam won an additional side contest prize after coming nearest to the pin on hole 16 while Stewart Tankard was nearest the pin on hole 12.
Nearly 40 players took part in the tournament. The evening was rounded-off with a prize-presentation ceremony in the club’s Members’ Lounge where Adam Dutson, the Royal Golf Club’s tournament coordinator, was on hand to present the prizes on behalf of Coca-Cola.
The Coca-Cola Monday Madness Night Golf Series competitions will take place at the Royal Golf Club every Monday evening. The 9-hole competitions are open to non-members at a cost of BD20 per night and tee off with a 6.30pm shotgun start.
