Team of Debbie Lane clinch first place

The team of Debbie Lane, Tabea Lutz, Mary Fox and Clare McMenamin (60.6 nett) clinched first place in the Royal Golf Club’s annual Ladies Captain Drive Golf Tournament which marked the official handover of the Club Captaincy from the previous year’s Ladies Captain Anne Quintino to 2016 Ladies Captain Karin Lutz.

It was played in the Texas Scramble format with the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel sponsoring the ladies only tournament, providing gift vouchers to the winning team.

A prize-giving ceremony and lunch were held for all competitors in the Club’s Repartee Lounge after play and the outgoing and incoming Ladies Captains exchanged gifts. A cheque for BD 3,251 was also presented to the Palm Association’s Chairperson, Karen Tennant, at the ceremony.

This was the sum raised through various golf events last year at the Royal Golf Club in aid of the Bahrain-based charity. The Ladies only golf competitions is played every Monday and Wednesday morning at 8:30am and open to all ladies.

Results: Debbie Lane, Tabea Lutz, Mary Fox, Clare McMenamin (60.6 nett). Nearest the Captain’s Drive: Sarajane Gardner (hole 1), Nearest the Pin: Anne Quintino (hole 12), Straightest Drive: Hilde Kwik (hole 11), Longest Putt: Denise Dunne (hole 18).
