Joey Halago, the 2022 Order of Merit Champion was back with a vengeance and reigned as champion in the 16th Seasons Open 2024 of the Filipino Golfers in the Middle East (FIGME).
FIGME's curtain raiser event held last weekend is the first major tournament in its Race to Order of Merit 2024. It assembled 46 members for an early 08:00 AM Shotgun in the Ian Baker Finch-designed Arabian Ranches Golf Club.
Green speeds measured 11 on the stimp metre making the course a tough one to handle.
The stableford event produced Halago's best score of 34 points which were highlighted by birdies on holes 2, 13 and 14.
In close contention were Mesh Shrikumar (+10) and Ramon Navea (+13) with 33 points apiece playing off in the Gold Division.
One of the highlights of the Seasons Opener was the Order of Merit Perpetual Trophy Presentation to Angelo Reston, FIGME's Best Golfer of 2023, Race to Order of Merit.
Origo Solutions, Birdies & Pars Travel Destination, Four Points Sheraton, and #FIGMEgolfers were the patrons of the 16th Seasons Open.
FIGME Members contributed to the Annual Membership where half of the proceeds will be allocated to their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
The next event will be a minor Order of Merit tournament to be held in Al Zorah Golf Club on Saturday, 17th February.
