Dubai Creek kids off to a flyer in the Captain’s Junior Par-3 League event 1
The first event of this year’s Captain’s Junior Par-3 League took place at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on Friday 4th March.
Teams of five children aged between 7 and 12 years represented Dubai Creek, Emirates and The Montgomerie golf clubs.
Defending champions Dubai Creek won the event comfortably with their best four from five scores totaling 125. Amazingly, the lowest score of the day came from the youngest player, 7 year old Sam D’Souza from Dubai Creek who scored a superb 1-over par 28 which included six pars and a birdie. His team mates Josh Bethel, Sai Ganesh, Tiger Shanker and Anoushka Bhargava scored 30, 31, 36 and 38 respectively. This places Dubai Creek at the top of the league table ahead of The Montgomerie on 152 and EGC on 165. Oliver Sheedy from The Montgomerie and Josh Bethel from Dubai Creek picked up the two nearest-the-pin prizes.
Head Academy Professional from Dubai Creek Stephen Hubner commented “This is a great series for the kids to take part in as it gives them great exposure to team golf. They have all had great fun today and the support given by the Dubai Creek Club Captain Joseph Andrade as well as Douglas Dowie from Emirates and Richard Smith from Arabian Ranches is greatly appreciated. We also must thank our friends at Disney and Adidas for their kind contributions to the day.”
The second event will take place on Saturday 26th March at The Montgomerie and the final event will be played at the Emirates Golf Club on Saturday 16th April.
