Club Captain Evans wins The Luckiest Ball on Earth at Al Ghazal Golf Club

The Al Ghazal’s September Monthly medal was well supported despite the early shot gun start of 7am as well as the hot and humid weather last Friday. The event was also a qualifier for the ‘Luckiest Ball on Earth’ competition.  This initiative of the DP World Tour Championship will see members of 19 Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) affiliated clubs compete in qualifying events throughout September for a chance to play in the Rolex Pro-Am of the DP World Tour Championship.
