The fifth annual Think Pink Ladies Charity Golf Day will take place at the Royal Golf Club on October 21.

Thanks to the huge popularity of the tournament and the many requests received in previous years from male golfers wishing to participate, a separate men's only tournament will be hosted at the club on the evening of October 18.

"This year we are determined to accommodate both male and female golfers of all abilities," said Phil Jones, the club's director of operations. "Last year's tournament raised nearly BD9,000 in aid of raising breast cancer awareness in Bahrain and with the help of the local community we aim to cross the BD10,000 mark this year."

Experienced lady golfers are invited to compete in an 18-hole Texas Scramble competition on the club's Montgomerie championship course teeing off with an 8am shotgun start.

Meanwhile, ladies with higher handicaps have the option to play a 9-hole scramble at 9am on the Wee Monty par 3 academy course.

The men's 9-hole tournament will be played under floodlights on the back 9 of the Montgomerie course. The event will tee off at 6.30pm.

Entry forms for all three tournaments can be found on the Royal Golf Club's website www.theroyalgolfclub.com
