The sixth annual National Day Golf Tournament proved more popular than ever this year as golfers leapt at the chance of playing on the Royal Golf Club's new 18-hole Montgomerie championship course. The pairing of Abdulla Sultan and Claus Hansen were the overall champions with a score of 82 points (Day One 41pts, Day Two 41 pts).
Over 100 golfers took part in the competition which was thought up by keen golfer Shaikh Ebrahim bin Khalid Al Khalifa as a way to encourage friendship and understanding between Bahraini nationals and expatriate residents.
The better ball tournament saw expat members paired up with either Bahraini members of the Royal Golf Club or the Bahrain Golf Club or players from the Bahrain National Team. All competitors played 18-holes on day one and the leading 30 pairs went on to play in a final round on day two.
Results: 1 Abdulla Sultan & Claus Hansen (82pts), 2 Khalid Salem & Louise Daly (79), 3 Sultan Abdulla & Tony James (78), 4 Tawfeeq Almoayyed & Alistair Ellerby (76), 5 Nasser Yacoob & Paul Adamson (75).
