The dynamic duo of Edward McCullagh and Sean Barnes delivered an impressive net score of -5 (31) to win the latest instalment of the Thursday Curry Club, a hugely popular member’s event hosted by the Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Kasturi Restaurant.

The play took place on the Fire course, with a Two-Player Team Scramble format, over the front nine.


McCullagh and Barnes, whose scorecard contained six birdies and just one bogey, claimed the title by a narrow one-stroke margin.

Securing a commendable second place was the duo of Garvit Yildiz and Dilek Yildiz, recording a net score of -4 (32).

In third place were Darren James and Kenny Murray, matching the impressive net score of -4 (32). The pair managed to record four birdies against no dropped shots but had to settle for the bronze position on a countback.

Adding to the excitement at the event were two on-course competitions, Garvit Yildiz claimed his second prize of the evening topping the nearest the pin challenge on Hole 2.
