Valentine’s exceptional performance, marked by a flawless seven-under-par round of 65, was pivotal in securing his win.

The event, held in partnership with Unique Holding, saw a competitive field of 97 golfers battling under ideal late-autumn conditions. In the Gross Medal Division, David Bainbridge clinched second place with a three-under-par 69, narrowly outperforming James Finnigan, who finished with a commendable 71. The handicap divisions were equally thrilling. Chris Wilmot dominated Division A with a net 68, while Martin McGuigan triumphed in Division B after a rare three-way tie. Sheila McIlroy, the club’s first Lady Captain, delivered a standout performance in the Ladies Division with a net 67, narrowly missing the overall title due to a late bogey. The Seniors Division saw Andy Speirs claim victory with a net 68, and Sean Ewing led the Stableford Division with 39 points. Cameron McWhinnie, Assistant Golf Services Manager at Jumeirah Golf Estates, expressed gratitude to sponsors OMA Emirates and Unique Holding, as well as the dedicated staff who ensured the event’s success.
