The duo of Ali Jassim and Fahad Al Yacoob demolished the competition to win the opening round of the latest Monday Madness Night Golf Series at the Royal Golf Club, sponsored for the next six weeks by Nandos Restaurants.

A total of 40 players took part in the pairs scramble competition on the Club’s Montgomerie championship course, all hoping to get some points on the leader board at the start of the new series.

The presentation of prizes took place in the Club’s exclusive Members’ Lounge after play and the Royal Golf Club’s golf operations manager, Cormac Flannery, was on hand to present the prizes.

“It’s great to see the new series get off to such an impressive night of scoring,” said Flannery. “We welcome Nandos onboard as new sponsors and wish all the competitors the best of luck for the upcoming series.”
