Sponsorship boost for Pro Am event

Projects System Group has confirmed sponsorship of the second annual Royal Golf Club Pro Am taking place at the Club on October 29.

“We are delighted to support this prestigious event once again,” said group owner Dr Abdulla bin Rashid Al Dossary. “Our sponsorship will take the form of a delicious buffet lunch for the players and guests at the conclusion of play in the Club’s purpose-built Majlis function hall. We will also be entering six teams for the tournament.”

The event will mark the climax of the Gulf Air PGA Pro Captain Challenge, a 36-hole tournament featuring top PGA professionals from the UK and Ireland which will be held at the club on the preceding three days.

Club members and guests can bid for a slot in the event which will star the seven British PGA professionals visiting Bahrain to play in the Gulf Air event as well as the Captain of the PGA, Jim Farmer. Also competing will be several professionals based in the UAE and Qatar as well as the six PGA professionals employed at the Royal Golf Club.

“Everyone at the club is looking forward to showing off our fabulous new Montgomerie course to some of Britain and Ireland’s top club golfers,” said general manager Michael Braidwood.

There are some fantastic hole- in-one prizes up for grabs including a sunset cruise on a yacht from ART Marine. Players also have the chance to win a luxury Westfield sports car sponsored by Motorsport Middle East.

Amateur golfers interested in bidding for a place on one of the teams can attend the auction night being held at the Royal Golf Club on the evening of Wednesday, October 28. For   further information, contact the club’s golf events team on golfevents@theroyalgolfclub. com or telephone 17750777.
