IBRAHIM Adel, Collette Belenager, Bijan Majidi and Pauline Jeakings were crowned overall champions of this year’s Shaikh Faisal Memorial Trophy golf tournament, held at His Majesty King Hamad’s private golf course at Safriya Palace.
The victorious quartet clinched first place with a total score of 85 points in the two-day betterball stableford event.
They were in action on the tournament’s first day on Friday, and their fine performance was enough to claim them the number one spot amongst a highly competitive field of 20 teams.
The winners overcame a sterling performance on day two by the Sea Scene team of David Wales, Sasson Sarcoob, Ibrahim Adel and Murtuz Zamanly. Sea Scene scored 83 points to finish as the best of the second day’s participants, but runners-up overall.
Claiming third place were the second-placed team overnight, Tatweer ‘B’. Players Abdualla Alotaibi, Bill Ofield, Dave Matlock and James Tasker slipped down the leader board after Sea Scene outshone their 80-point score.
This year’s tournament was held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad and in memory of his late son Shaikh Faisal, who was an honorary president of the Bahrain Disabled Sports Federation and an avid supporter of Bahrain Mobility International.
The event raised BD32,000, which will be used to develop a driving school for the disabled and complete the swimming pool, which requires heating and a cover.
