THE 12th Nass Medal competition at Awali Golf Club on Friday attracted a field of more than 100 players.
The day belonged to Diab Sagar Al Noaimi, carding a nett-66 (gross 70) to be the overall winner as well as the medal for lowest gross score and a handicap cut from 4 to 3.
His play was particularly stunning as it included an albatross (three under par for the hole) – achieved on the 517-yard hole 5 ‘Eagle’s Nest’.
Those present at the prize-giving, including some players who have been playing at Awali since the 1060s, said that they could not remember this having been achieved in a weekend competition.
Results – Overall and Medal winner: Diab Sagar Al Noaimi (nett-66/gross 70). Flight-1: 1st Salah Al Shaer (67/77), 2nd Abdulrahman Amin (69/74), 3rd Ateeq Majali (69/77). Flight-2: 1st Zayed Salem (69/84), 2nd Dave Bailey (69/81), 3rd Gerry McDermott (70/86). Flight-3: 1st Jo Pawson (67/93), 2nd John Fennell (67/93), 3rd Beth Robinson (69/99).
The club said au-revoir to Barry and Moira Ward, members for 16 years, who are leaving Bahrain. Club Captain Abdul Elah Fakhroo, on behalf of the members, wishing them well in their future endeavours.
