The proven model of Qualifying Rounds at UAE Golf Clubs for Members and embracing the EGF Direct Members, winners advancing to the UAE National Final and ultimately five golfers, one from each of the Divisions, to represent the UAE in the Grand Final in Malaysia in November, has once again been a winner. We thank all competitors who have entered and competed to date, congratulate the Divisional winners and look forward to our remaining six Qualifying Rounds.”
