On the 12th of September Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club hosted its oldest major the 13th Summer Open Golf Championship, a full field battled it out to be this years champion. The format was stableford playing from the tricky black and blue tees. It was EGF member Lee Johnston who found form on the day posting a very impressive forty two stableford points to win by two points. Lees electric round included seven net birdies and a net eagle. Lee won by two points over SGSC member Andrew Thom who posted a score of forty points and was unlucky not to be this years champion. Ali Tiwana another SGSC member who reguraly features at the top of leader boards had to settle with third place with a very solid score of thirty nine points. The gross division was won by Bishnu Sharma on a gross score of thirty five stableford points.
As an extra this year we included the re-arranged Summer Senior Open and getting their hands on the title this year was SGSC member Gary Hibbert. Garry only had one net bogey in his round the rest were pars and net birdies to post thirty nine points which was enough to be victorious on the day.
