George Duncan, director of Bentley Emirates, presented the main prizes and thanked all players for making the event a great success. He also promised to continue his support of the society’s events.
The society played host to four tournaments this season, beginning with the Independence Day Cup at the Montgomerie Golf Club in October, which was followed by the IGS Corporate Tournament at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club in January, the IGS Pairs tournament at Al Badia Golf Club in April, culminating with the Summer Open.
The society gave their sincere appreciation to support sponsors that included Anand Kapoor (Midcom), Mukesh Kochar (Rich Rice), D Nath (Arabian International Partners Ltd), David Freeborn (Chivas) and Antoin Breene.
