Mashreq Golf Medal Championship has become the Emirate’s must play fixture!
Dubai – UAE, 25th August 2014: Leading financial institution, Mashreq confirmed its continued support to Dubai Golf in its second year as headline sponsor. The popular Mashreq Medal Championship attracts members from Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club through its monthly events.
The 2014 Mashreq Medal Championship runs over a 12 month period with a total of 22 monthly medals across the two Dubai Golf managed clubs. The monthly medals are played over 18 holes on the award winning Dubai Creek, Faldo and Majlis golf courses, which is also the home of the annual Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Both clubs will run separate order-of-merits and the top 36 players in both order-of-merits will win a place in the grand final. Participants are able to win prizes from Harvey Nichols and there are also 14 opportunities within the year for golfers to win a brand new BMW if they achieve a hole in one!
Caetano Fernandes, Senior Vice-President and Head of Mashreq Gold commented, “The Mashreq Medal Championship recorded overwhelming results during 2013 and there is strong indication that it will continue with the same success. We have succeeded to create a stage where those passionate about this sport can showcase their talent and win amazing prizes. “
“The Mashreq Medal Championship has also offered a unique opportunity for our Mashreq Gold clients to play golf along with other professionals, even though they might not be members of the golf clubs. Our golf enthusiastic clients have enjoyed this engagement opportunity to match their playing skills with other players and we have received a very positive feedback from them.”
Christopher May, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Golf commented, "The Mashreq Medal Championship has proven to be extremely popular with our members at both Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. The championship league format was added at the start of 2013 and allows our members to accumulate points over the year to determine an overall series winner which means that the monthly events are even more competitive than ever before. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mashreq Bank for their continued support as the headline sponsor of the series."
