The Emirates Golf Club season opening medal tournament was held around a tough Majlis course set up. A total of 82 golfers competed for the first medal of the new 2022/23 season.

The overall winner was Dmitriy Korshunov from division C (handicap 21 and above) with a net score of 69. Dmitriy carded an impressive four net birdies and a net eagle on 18 to edge out the rest of the field.

Julian Stanley clinched the division A prize with a net 71. Julian navigated the back nine in one under par gross to win over the runner-up Adel Hamdan on a back nine countback. Adel closed out the round with two net birdies and a net eagle in the last four holes. Third place was sealed by Craig Tredenick with a 72 net. Craig claimed the prize with a better back nine on countback over fourth spot.

The winner of the division B (hancicap 11 to 20) was Karan Badami with a net 69. Karan carded six net birdies on the day and despite a net bogey on the final hole, did enough to take the division B medal. Sekhar Reddy was division B runner-up, also with a net score of 69. Sekhar had a very solid day carding five net birdies against two net bogeys to match the winning score but was just pipped by the winner on a back nine countback. George Clarke carded a very respectable net 71 on the day to take third place.

Rohit Gupta won the best gross prize shooting 76 gross to win out over the rest by a single stroke. After a rough start with a triple bogey on the fifth, Rohit fought back with four birdies in his next eight holes to take this year’s gross prize.
