The holiday season was elevated to a new level at Jumeirah Golf Estates as it hosted the highly anticipated Christmas Scramble Competition on the Fire course. This event featured a lively 4-ball Texas Scramble format, drawing an impressive turnout of 116 members who arrived adorned in festive Christmas attire.
In a splendid display of skill and teamwork, the team of Hash Kapadia, Tara Hession, Aharron Leo, and Jamie Green emerged triumphant in the Christmas Scramble Competition with an outstanding net score of -22. Their stellar performance included the remarkable feat of not registering a single net par throughout the round. Each hole witnessed them scoring either a net birdie, eagle, or bogey, ultimately securing a resounding victory with a 2-stroke lead.
Securing a commendable second place in the Christmas Scramble Competition were Josh Worton, Cahal Altman, Andrew Cullen, and Sven Wiegand with an impressive net score of -20. Their round was nothing short of remarkable, highlighted by an astounding tally of 7 net eagles and 6 net birdies, ultimately leading them to victory on countback from the third-place finisher.
The third place in the Christmas Scramble Competition was claimed by Richard Stumbles, Philippa Stumbles, Kristen Blomeley, and Chris Othen, concluding their round with an impressive score of -20. Despite their exceptional performance, their placement was determined by a countback.
