The Dubai Golf Summer Series teed off for its third season with a new title sponsor
The Dubai Golf Summer Series teed off for its third season with a new title sponsor Interem. The first fixture attracted 77 competitors of which three carded an impressive 37 points over the Faldo course.
It was Stephen Reid from the Emirates Golf Federation that took top prize, sponsored by Ping, having signed for 20 points on the inward nine. A superb back nine included birdies on the 10th and 13th and a solitary bogey on the hardest hole on the course, the fourteenth. His front nine of 17 points was made up of four bogeys and birdies on the 3rd and 9th. His closest contenders were Paul Barbone and John Coupland, both signed for 37 points but Barbone’s 18 on the back nine was two better than Coupland helping him to runners-up position.
Reid also carded the best gross of the day a one over par 73 closely followed by Michael Robson with a 75. Robson clinched the longest drive award on the 16th hole while Inaan Budhiraja and Clive Rogerson won the nearest the pin contests on the 8th and 12th respectively. Rogerson was two inches away from a rare hole in one.
Over the series the best three of potentially four stableford scores will be tabulated and the individual with the highest total will win the grand prize sponsored by Interem and be declared the Dubai Golf Sumer Series Champion for 2011.
