THE Riffa Views 'Shaikh Faisal Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Memorial Trophy' will be held at His Majesty King Hamad's golf course in Safriya on February 14, 15 and 16.

The 'better ball' golf tournament, in memory of Shaikh Faisal who tragically died in a car accident in January last year, is a charitable event with all proceeds being donated to Bahrain Mobility International (BMI), a charity strongly supported by Shaikh Faisal during his lifetime.

"We are very honoured to be involved once again in such a worthwhile event," said Richard Browning, CEO of Riffa Views. "Last year's tournament raised over BD 40,000 and we look forward to bettering that in February."

"Riffa Views will be running the tournament at His Majesty's course and we are expecting a total of 250 golfers to participate," said Riffa Views director of golf Phil Jones. "Corporate sponsor pairings will play on days one and two with Riffa Views inviting their guests to compete on day three. Teams of four golfers will play in two better ball pairings."

Companies who wish to sponsor the event, or those interested in entering a team, can call Dreena Rogers on 39615356 or Anita Ghavami, Riffa Views golf sales & PR manager on 36531310 for more details.
