Dubai's Mother and Son Team: Winning Golf Duo

NEWS REPORT

 

 

Mother-and-son team Satnam Kaur and Sandeep Singh completed several firsts for the competition in their match at The Address Montgomerie Dubai.

Not only were they the first all-family pairing to claim a berth in the UAE National Final - which will be held at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club in May - but the duo were also the first lady and junior qualifiers in the inaugural series.

Another victory at finals day and the pair will progress to the prestigious International Pairs World Final in Scotland.

In perfect early-morning conditions, 64 members took to the course aiming to progress to finals day to represent the club against other winners from the country.

However, it was the family team  who were celebrating at the end of the day as they clicnhed victory by the narrowest of margins.

No stranger to the podium, Satnam Kaur is always a contender. But despite combining superbly with Sandeep Singh  to record eight net birdies and a better-ball score of 42 points, they needed countback to clinch victory from Chris King and Dan Davies.

Tied over 18 holes and then the back nine, the winners covered the last six holes in one less shot to secure victory.

Third place, just a point behind on 41, was taken by Rajinder Razdan and Qamar Rashed, although once again a countback was required. This time it went all the way to the final three holes on the card, with Qamar's gross birdie/net eagle on the 16th proving decisive.

Nearest-the-pin prizes were awarded to Barb McBean and Raymi van der Spek for their efforts on holes eight and 13 respectively.

This was the fourth qualifying event in the 2010-11 Tech Access International Pairs UAE Presented by Cadillac, and Satnam Kaur and Sandeep Singh join representatives from Arabian Ranches Golf Club, Abu Dhabi City Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club who are already through.

The next qualifying event sees a return to Abu Dhabi in late January and the first visit to a sand course when members of Al Ghazal Golf Club will have the opportunity to be involved in the only club members' international event in the UAE.

Very well done, Mother & Son duo! May I ask something about Mrs. Satnam Kaur? I want to know whether Sardarni Satnam Kaur has ever had any connection with Indore City (India)?
