Ahmed Albudoor and Mahmood Skaik emerged victorious in their respective divisions in the opening event of the National Par-3 League at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club on Friday.

Ahmed produced a consistent round of gross 32, beating last year’s overall winner Abdulla Bin Thani in Division A for under-16 players while Mahmood held his nerve to beat Reema Al Heloo and Maryam Mazouqi on a countback after the three signed off with an identical gross 28 in Division B (under-12).

The Par-3 League, introduced last year as part of the National Junior Programme to create awareness about the game among newcomers, once again generated a tremendous response with as many 30 signing for the opening event.
Saeed Albudoor, General Manager of the Emirates Golf Federation, said: “It’s encouraging to see the league grow in popularity among juniors. We are introducing more events for them this season and I hope they will go a long in way honing their skills.

“I am sure with continued support from parents, the league will grow bigger and better with time. We are also grateful to all participating clubs for their help in making the league a success.’’
