Think Pink charity event set for tee-off

THE ninth annual Think Pink Bahrain Ladies Charity Golf Day will take place at the Royal Golf Club (RGC) on October 9. A separate gents only tournament will be hosted at the club on the evening of October 6.

“With the help of the local community we look forward to raising plenty of money this year for this vitally important cause,” said Bernie Morgan, the Royal Golf Club’s director of golf operations.

The men’s 9-hole tournament will be played under floodlights on the back 9 holes of the club’s Montgomerie championship course. The event will tee off at 6.30pm and will be played in the Texas Scramble format.

Experienced lady golfers can compete in an 18-hole Texas Scramble competition on Sunday on the Montgomerie championship course, teeing off with an 8.30am shotgun start. Ladies with higher handicaps have the option to play a 9-hole scramble at 10.30am on the club’s Wee Monty par 3 course.

The two ladies tournaments will be rounded off with a lunch and prize-giving ceremony in the club’s Majlis function room.

Entry forms for all three tournaments can be found on the club’s website www.theroyalgolfclub.com/events/golf-events-entry-forms/

“We have a number of excellent sponsorship opportunities available for these very prestigious events,” explained Julie Sprakel, the founder of Think Pink Bahrain. “Companies can display their company-branded banner on a golf hole from just BD250 or BD100 on the Wee Monty course.

“This will also entitle them to have their logo on all event signage as well as receiving recognition at the prize-giving ceremony. We are also looking for companies or individuals willing to sponsor prizes for the main prize winners and for the winners of the various side contests and fun events.”
