British Airways invited some of their most valued customers from the UAE and a media team of journalists to take part in the competition. The teams were greeted and looked after during the day by ambassadors from the airline in full in-flight uniform.

A BBQ and prize giving ceremony followed the competition, with the team from Citi Bank scooping first place. Each member of the winning team received a Club World (business class) ticket and the team took home the British Airways trophy. First runner up was the Trade team who each received a World Traveller Plus (premium economy) ticket. The Press team came in third place and each member was awarded Upgrade Vouchers.

The competition also featured a ‘Beat the Professional’ challenge on the sixth tee. Five players managed to achieve a better score than a professional golfer.
