Francisco Giles commented, “Thank you to all the members who have played today and for all their support throughout the year. Thank you to Christopher May, General Manager, Mustafa Al Hashimi, Club Manager and Alan Mackenzie, Director of Golf and all the staff at Dubai Creek for their support as it has been a great pleasure and honour as such a fantastic golf club.

Diya Chopra won the overall best junior prize with a great score of 39 points. Miki Mirza won longest Drive on the 12th hole and Abdullah Al Musharrekeh won Nearest the Pin on the 8th hole.

Chef Max created a special surprise for the Captain and all the members on the 6th tee with the Gastro Hole. A fun game to get the taste buds working and six out of the eighty-one members managed to guess the main ingredient from a choice of six tantalizing tasters. Maureen Platt, Peter Shaw and Mark Bellini were luckily drawn from the winners to receive special dinners courtesy of Chef Max and his culinary team.

Park Hyatt Dubai and Pro Sports donated some lovely raffle prizes to finish the evening off in style and the lucky winners were Miki Mirza, Y.S Lee, Samir Sahu and Viren Verma.
