A field of 90 players took to Awali Golf Club (AGC) course in hot but near perfect playing conditions resulting in some exceptional scoring at Friday’s 49th Abdulla Ali Kanoo Cup competition.
Rick de Groot was the overall winner scoring a gross 83, net 61. Onny Martin took the runners-up spot with a gross 80, net 62 and Ali Musbah took the medal with a one over 70 gross.
The Kanoo family has been long term sponsors of the club with the first Kanoo Golf Tournament being sponsored in 1966/67. In 2011/12 the competition was renamed to the Abdulla Ali Kanoo Cup in memory of the late chairman.
Hanna Kanoo, his daughter, was assisted by Bryan Webster and Steve Wagstaff in presenting prizes to the respective winners. A full clubhouse acknowledged Bill Scarth, in his last MC role as club captain, and joined him in a rousing rendition of The Awali Way, sung to the melody of Frank Sinatra’s classic My Way.
