April 2023 ... we need to find players for some of our events....
The Creek inter-society 29th April EGF holders only...
We need 8 players with valid handicaps.. So I am seeking seven at this time
( Captain already confirmed )
This is a great value event, so I really hope we can get the team together asap.
The Divots at the Monty for Ramadan
The Ramadan Monty Series continues with two of the five weeks now completed.
We have a runaway winner at this time in Richard Stanford, who despite being cut two shots from the first leg, ( scored 20 ) still scored a winning total last evening of 18 points on a new 12 handicap. He is now "also" on a Divots handicap warning..
Nic Bycynski, who complained bitterly to me when I said I would cut him as a joke for the Trump event..😂 is currently in second place for the two weeks average, and so he is now on a Divots Handicap Warning..
( just go get a EGF.. and all will be well guys .. probably ! )
See series to date for scores
There are still a few spaces left for the final three weeks, but I suggest you put your name down asap, because we cannot guarantee to get the extra spaces like we managed to do so yesterday, increasing from 12 to 16...
BTW... A score card should be readable and include names and scores !
Yup its official... The Dubai Divots are now officially linked to Gulf for Good, a charity based here in Dubai and who donate to children in need around the world.
We are seeking sponsors, especially corporate Sponsors to work with the Divots by sponsoring an individual or a series of events by funding prizes and adding money for the charity.. raising awareness... making for fun days, and events
EXAMPLES:
SPONSOR for Larger events..... Sponsor a whole event by supplying six or more prizes for the golf, and with each prize you also donate a 'sum' that will go directly to
Gulf For Good.
SPONSOR for Smaller events .... A sponsor may perhaps supply a box of balls or two for say the longest drive or a nearest the pin.. and again donate a 'sum' of their choosing to Gulf for Good.
THIS IS NOT OBLIGATORY ... But we really hope it takes off, and that we set an example to other societies across the UAE and beyond. The actual cost is totally under the control of the sponsor, and can be confidential, but the fact that whilst we all enjoy a great day out on the golf course.. then knowing that simply by attending, we are helping children in need, is something that ( in my opinion ) should be considered a standard for the Dubai Divots...
The Dubai Divots will also be looking to find other ways to raise funds for Children in Need,Internationally ( Gulf for Good ) , so please put your thinking caps on.. you know this is something we should do, if for no other reason than understanding that we are all privileged to be here, earning decent money and messing about on the golf course and having fun... we truly are the lucky ones.. so lets find ways to pay a little back to the world, where millions are not as fortunate as us...
Our founders back in 2010 onwards, until the laws changed in the UAE, raised considerable amounts for charities.. so by adopting a new charitable stance, and fully legal here in the UAE, we are simply following in the footsteps of those of our members who have gone before.
