Dubai: Bob Fletcher (7) scored 39 Stableford points and Diane Halliwell (24) 43 points to win their respective divisions in the Mackenzie Macmillan Individual Stableford Tournament at Arabian Ranches Golf Club on Saturday.
Halliwell's round of the day consisted of nines of 20 and 23 having teed off on hole 10 in this shotgun full allowance format.
She had the luxury of a no score on hole four on her back nine for a staggering eight point winning margin that reduces her handicap by 4 strokes to 20. In the Men's Division Vice-Club Captain Fletcher had the equivalent of a gross 76 highlighted by back to back birdies on holes 2 and 3 to reduce his handicap to 6.
Others of note in the Men's Division included runner-up Wenjun Choi (14) a consistent recent prize winner with 38 points alongside both Brian Mcgrory (8) and Sandy Gammie (8).
