Al Ghazal Golf Club January Monthly Mug & Farewell to Dennis

The first medal of the year at the Al Ghazal Golf Club was a special event celebrated by a full complement of members as Dennis Cox prepares to leave Abu Dhabi for home in the U.S.A.

As part of the farewell celebrations Dennis wanted to Sponsor the January Monthly Medal, and in the traditional sand course roots of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club by renaming the medal as the Monthly Mug.  Dennis is currently compiling Abu Dhabi’s Sand Golf history and has become quite an authority on the subject.  The eventual winners of the January Monthly Mug received engraved Selangor Pewter mugs.
