Prize Winners of 7th Aquafina Royal Palm Golf Team Chamionship with Khurram Shah of Pepsi and Parvez Qureshi of Royal Palm.
In the 7th Aquafina Royal Palm Golf Team Championship that concluded yesterday at the Royal Palm Golf Course,success was acheived by the Royal Palm ‘A’Team through a steady effort which ultimately brought them victory and the Champion Team Title.For Royal Palm Team the big consolation has been that they remained as front runners at the end of day one,again at the end of day two,and even on the final day,although the runners up team,Gymkhana’A’made huge strides towards the victory podium,the Royal Palm champions made them look just a bit less accomplished.All through the final day,Sardar Murad and Mohsen Zafar excelled again and seemed on similar path in terms of golfing scores,which brought forth winning fruits.
As for the two other team members,Abbas Ali Khan and Omer Salamat ,the effort lacked luster when compared to Murad and Zafar,however Abbas did manage to supplement what Royal Palm ultimately attained. The Gymkhana team consisting of Sameer Iftikhar,Imran Ahmed Aleem ur Rehman and Waleed Zubair ended the championship as the runners up through a rejuvenated effort on the second and third day of the championship.
On the fist day they were placed way down the ladder and this charged up players like Sameer and Aleem ur Rehman and the result is a far improved team performance in the overall reckoning.Defence Raya team of Fakhar Imam,Shafiq Bhatti,Col Shafi and Col Asif Mehdi came third. The team scores of top three teams were Royal Palm’A’698,Gymkhana’A’700 and Defence Raya 708.
