Businessmen to vie for golfing honours

Dubai: The UAE's leading business personalities will once again engage in a keen contest for top golfing honours when the ninth edition of Dulsco Classic, the region's premier golf championship, takes place on Thursday, February 23. This time, the Els Club at Dubai Sports City will be the venue for the tee-offs.

Dulsco Classic 2012, organised by Dulsco, is an annual golf championship that has been acknowledged not only for connecting the corporate fraternity but also encouraging businesspeople to take an active interest in the sport.

Prizes will be handed out to the top three individual performers of the competition, which will adopt an individual stableford format with a three-fourth handicap (under Divisions A & B). Participants are also allowed to form teams of four players to compete for the top three team prizes. The two best scores on each hole of each team will be counted for the team total. Special prizes will also be handed out for the ‘nearest to the pin' and ‘longest drive'.

Last year, more than 82 golfers participated in Dulsco Classic. Top winners last year were Bharat Godkhindi and Jamal Barghouti, who won the Division A and Division B respectively.
