GOLF – AMERICAN Mission Hospital (AMH) has announced that the much-anticipated 26th annual AMH Island Classic Charity Golf Tournament is scheduled to be held from October 30 to November 1.
This esteemed event will commence on October 30 at 12noon, inaugurating three days filled with thrill, companionship, and spirited competition.
Under the royal patronage of His Majesty King Hamad, this signature event will unfold at His Majesty’s private golf course in Saffriya, offering a unique opportunity for golf enthusiasts to showcase their skills on this renowned course.
AMH corporate CEO/chief medical officer Dr George Cheriyan expressed his gratitude, stating: “First and foremost, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to His Majesty, for graciously allowing us once again to host the tournament. Golfers all around eagerly anticipate the opportunity to test their skills on this challenging course every year.”
The tournament follows a Florida scramble format, where all players take their shot from the position identified as the best ball. Each team, comprising four golfers, has an equal chance to impact their collective score and overall performance.
Teams will be divided into two flights – the Championship and Premier flights – and at the end of the three days of play, three winners from each category will be awarded. Several side contests including Closest to the Pin, Longest Putt, and the Most Accurate Drive will also be conducted side by side. As sponsors continue to show unwavering support for the event, funds raised will be directed towards the noble cause of Community Outreach Programmes, furthering AMH’s mission of promoting health education and providing essential medical services to the community.
