It was the return of the OMA Emirates Medalford in Association with Christie’s International Real Estate this weekend. Ninety participants took to the Fire course in an Individual Stroke Play format using 95% of the Course Handicap.

This month’s Champion was Fergus Gilmour (11), scoring a great net 66. Gilmour had a bogey free front nine and picked up four net birdies and two net eagles. This was a dream start for Gilmour as this Medalford was his first event as a new member of Jumeirah Golf Estates.

The Men’s Division A winner was James Finnigan (5) with a brilliant net 67. Finnigan played extremely consistently, scoring 6 regular birdies. Nathan Gatland (8) was a close second with a score of net 68. Third place went to Umair Javed (7) with a score of net 69. Alistar Mcilroy (15) won the Men’s Division B outright, scoring a net 70. A highlight was the net eagle Mcilroy picked up on hole 13. The runner-up prize, determined through a countback, went to Ravi Khanna (18) with a score of net 72. Rob Duce (14) scored a net 72 and came third in the division.

Shelia Mcilroy (11) joined her husband as a prize winner picking up the best Ladies category with a score of net 67. A particular highlight from Mcilroy’s round was the net eagle which she scored on the difficult par 5 hole 7.

The Seniors category was won by Guy Walker (8) with a net 69, which was determined through a countback. The best junior prize went to Siddhaan Chhibber (11) with a score of net 68. Chhibber’s scoring clearly shows his time spent at the Tommy Fleetwood Academy is paying off.

The Gross winner was David Bainbridge (+1). Having only dropped one shot on his front nine, Bainbridge scored 6 birdies to finish with a round of 71. The runner-up spot went to Martin Issott (4) with a score of 73. A highlight from Issott’s round came just after the turn on hole 10, where he made a net eagle.

Alan McNamara (6) made 39 Stableford points to claim victory in the Stableford category. The runner-up spot went to Jack Wanliss (7) with 39 points and was determined through a countback.
