De Kock and Schroderus Win 2nd EGF Summer Swing Event In Abu Dhabi
(Abu Dhabi, UAE) – The Abu Dhabi Golf Club (ADGC) hosted the second of three Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) Summer Swing events on August 14, 2015. The small but talented field of golfers competed in a Pairs Shamble Stableford format. Westin Hotels & Resorts - Abu Dhabi, who provided great prizes for the winners, sponsored the event.
Abu Dhabi Golf Club’s par-72 Championship course that plays host to the HSBC Abu Dhabi Golf Championship delivered a tough but fair challenge for the players. Having such great history at this golf club it was a perfect venue for the second leg of the EGF Summer Swing.
Playing a great round of golf, Chris De Kock and Arto Schroderus came out on top winning after a count back with a total of 45 points. The winners received trophies and a 2-night stay at Westin Hotels & Resorts - Abu Dhabi.
Peter Lane and Jermeiah Kaplan finished in second place with 45 points. The second place received a 1-night stay at Westin Hotels & Resorts - Abu Dhabi.
Rounding out the top three was Tim Taylor and Patrick Stevens. The third place team won on a count back after scoring 43 points. Third place won a lunch for 2 at Westin Hotels & Resorts - Abu Dhabi.
During the event there was also two on course challenges for the players to compete in. Peter Lane won both, the Nearest To The Pin on hole 12 and the Longest Drive on Hole 9.
