The 2022 ladies season opener took at the Emirates Golf Club with sixty eight ladies taking part in a fourball scramble event around the Majlis course in honour of the new lady captain for 2022 - 2023, Maria Arias.
As is tradition on the season opener, the ladies playing in the event gathered around the first tee to watch Marivi’s opening tee shot. As a sign of friendship and respect for the new lady captain, the ladies all wore red and white colours today in honor of Marivi and her home country of Peru. Marivi, amidst a sea of her home colours, hit a wonderful drive 197 yards straight down the centre of the fairway to great cheers and applause.
The winning ‘Guess the Distance’ was won by Alison Cowley.
