Gulf Air will be hosting a Golf Day for its frequent flyer members on Saturday 9th September at the Riffa Golf Club.
The Gulf Air Frequent flyer Golf Day, being held in association with Riffa Golf Club, is open to members and non-members of the club, however, players are all members of Gulf Air's Frequent flyer programme.
All Gulf Air gold and silver members taking part in the event and who are non-members of Riffa Golf Club, will receive a discount on the green fees for the day.
"Gulf Air is always looking for ways to offer added value to its loyal customers, as well as the opportunity for them to network in relaxing surroundings," says Gulf Air Vice President Sales and Marketing, Lee Shave.
The day begins with breakfast and a shotgun start at 8am. The format of the game will be a four- ball alliance with the best two stable ford scores counted. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place teams.
Other competitions taking place during the day will include nearest-to-the-pin', nearest-to-the-water (but still on the fairway on the infamous Ninth hole) as well as prizes awarded for longest drives.
"Following on from the success of last year’s event, we decided to host the event again this year with our partner, Riffa Golf Club," says Gulf Air Manager Loyalty Programmes Louise Robertson.
"We are delighted to co-operate with Riffa Golf Club again as we have had several successful events in the past, such as the seventh Bahrain Golf Invitational (BGI) tournament, held at the beginning of this year."
Anyone wishing to take part in the event should contact the Riffa Golf Club on 17750777 for further details or complete an entry form.
