Golfers battle through heat and competition at Orient Travel Monthly Stableford
Despite the mercury rising an enthusiastic field of golfers teed off at the Orient Travel Monthly Stableford, hosted at the Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club and proudly supported by the Saudi Tourism Authority. With a lineup of superb prizes courtesy of our sponsors, the event once again delivered a memorable day of competitive golf and community spirit. Sai Pagadala was the man of the moment, playing arguably his best golf of the season. His round was a masterclass in scoring, featuring eight net birdies and a net eagle, which propelled him to an impressive 40 Stableford points. Tied at the top, Sai clinched the victory on countback—a narrow win, but a well-earned one. He walked away with top-tier prizes and the well-deserved applause of his fellow competitors. Hot on his heels was Shagir Mohammed, who matched Sai's 40 points with a stellar round of his own. Though he narrowly missed out on the top spot, Shagir's performance would've been good enough for gold on most days. This time, he took home the runner-up title with pride. Rounding out the top three was the ever-consistent Rajesh Pareek, who continued his strong run with a solid 39-point finish. In the Gross Division, Adam Smith stood tall with a commanding 32-point round, securing the final prize of the day and adding yet another strong performance to his golfing résumé. A big congratulations to all our winners—and hats off to every participant who turned up despite the soaring temperatures. Special thanks, as always, go to our generous sponsors for making events like this not just possible, but truly exceptional.
