Arabian Ranches Golf Club, located in the heart of the Arabian Ranches, will be the proud home of the 7th Annual Dubai Duty Free Mixed Greensomes Stroke this year.
To be held on April 7, 2012, the Arabian Ranches Golf Club is now accepting entries for the event online at www.arabianranchesgolfdubai.com.
The Greensomes Stroke is played by both the male and female player teeing off their respective tees and the best ball is then selected and played in alternate fashion until the ball is holed. This procedure is repeated for all 18 holes. The handicap allowance for the two player team is 3/8 of the players’ combined handicaps. Prizes will be awarded to the top four Gross and Net winners.
The handicap limit for men will be 28 and for ladies 36 with play for men from the Blue Tee Course at 6,531 yards and for ladies from the Red Tee Course at 5,226 yards. There are no age limits – upper or lower for the tournament and all golfers are encouraged to support.
