Doha: Qatar British Business Forum (QBBF) held its first-ever 'Golf Day' at Doha Golf Club on March 15 thanks to its PRO Sponsor Gulf Contracting Co.
Around 30 members participated in the tournament held in the afternoon, a great way to do some corporate socialising while exercising.
Additionally there was a golf clinic for learners and improvers where Doha Golf Club coach Jeff Mathews, British PGA, guided around 10 participants through the basics of the sport.
Gulf Contracting Company GCC and its specialist divisions Al Manjara Joinery, and Interspace and Spacemaker, along with QBBF provided the golfers with golf balls, caps and medals.
QBBF’s Vice-Chairwoman Carly-Jane Figgis greeted the participants and thanked the PRO Sponsor before introducing Grahame McCaig, Gulf Contracting’s General Manager.
Grahame distributed medals to the winners. First place went to Danny Langfield, guest of Doha British School, second place was awarded to Andrew Salmon from Al Manjara Joinery, a division of Gulf Contracting Company, and third place went to Rory McGettigan from Dan Bolton Creative Management Agency.
Raksha Nair from Marsh was awarded ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ following the golf clinic session. Grahame also declared, “This was a very successful event and we are already looking forward to next year’s tournament with even more players.”
This year QBBF has been adding new activities into its event calendar, on top of its customary business lunches and evening networking gatherings. Clay Pigeon shooting was held at the Olympic standard range at Lusail Shooting Club in February followed by a high-tea on March 8 at Qatar’s National Museum to celebrate International Women’s Day.
