"We have also invited a number of fellow Lady Captains from other Golf Clubs in the UAE to add some tradition to Sheila's day.
"We will also have the traditional Lady Captain Drive in at 1.10 pm from the first tee which everyone is looking forward to with the exception of Sheila!
"We especially thank Liali Jewellery for their generous sponsorship of this event that has added some significant add-on value to what we are hopeful of being a very unique day at Arabian Ranches Golf Club."
