Lalvani emerges best at Dubai Golf Summer Series

The series consists of four fixtures which are played between two of the local clubs in the Dubai Golf portfolio: Dubai Creek and Emirates Golf Club. This Summer Series is always popular with golfers from across the region and despite the tough summer conditions the event boasted a packed field of over 90 players. The beautiful yet tricky Dubai Creek course would provide a great test for the players competing in the individual stableford format.

Lalvani made it two wins from two in the series after a superb 37 stableford points. Four players on the day finished tied on 37 points but it was Lalvani who had the strongest finish to claim top spot on a better inward half. This result saw Lalvani maintain his place at the top of the series order of merit with a total of 78 points. After being presented his prize Lalvani commented: “I would like to thank the sponsors for their work in putting together such a great series and also all of the staff here at Dubai Creek for presenting a course in such great condition. I must also say thank you to my parents and my coach for their continued support”.

Past Dubai Creek lady captain Maureen Platt took second place with 37 points, also on a count back over Nick Chittenden who finished third. The best gross prize was awarded to Emirates Golf Club Pontus Fredriksson, who shot a superb gross 68 for 39 points. The ladies prize was won by Kate Duffy, who put in a great performance and finished with a total of 33 points. Arjun Gupta was the junior winner after a fine round and a winning total of 34 points.

Gary Chapman, Mukesh Sharma and Kunal Chauhan were all awarded for their accurate tee shots on Dubai Creek’s Par 35th, 8th and 16th holes.
