THE ninth annual Think Pink Bahrain Charity Golf Day will take place at the Royal Golf Club on Thursday, October 16.
In a change to previous years, both the ladies and gents tournaments will take place on the same day.
“With the help of the local community we look forward to raising plenty of money once again this year for this great cause,” said Bernie Morgan, the Royal Golf Club’s director of golf.
“The money raised will be used to help train medical staff to treat women in Bahrain who are affected by breast cancer as well as to continue the battle to raise awareness of the importance of regular breast checks.
“I’m looking forward to seeing all the competitors decked out in as much pink as possible!”
Experienced lady golfers are invited to compete in an 18-hole Texas Scramble competition 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 men’s 9-hole tournament will be played under floodlights on the back 9 holes of the Montgomerie championship course, teeing off at 6.30pm and also being played in the Texas Scramble format.
The two ladies tournaments will be rounded off with a lunch and prize-giving ceremony in the club’s Majlis function room.
“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 on the championship course 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.”
