Dubai: The 11th Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge kicks off this weekend at Arabian Ranches on Saturday.
This year, the event is even stronger with 9 qualifiers across the Middle East including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Following the final at Abu Dhabi GC in December, the overall winners will play in the 2009 Abu Dhabi Golf Championship Pro-Am, of which Xerox is a proud sponsor.
Tony Billingham & Kevin O'Connell from Bon Café Middle East the defending champions are looking forward to defending their title: "2007 was the first time that we had entered the event. We qualified in May at the Montgomerie and went through to the final. What a great day!"
Sponsors
"The organisation was first class by Xerox and we ended up winning the chance to play at Wentworth, which was fantastic! The event has been great for business development and we'll definitely be entering again as defending champions."
Once again, the event's sponsors are second to none: HSBC, the world's local bank, & Dell, the world's leading computer systems company, continue as the main sponsors. Troon Golf manages the Challenge for a fifth consecutive year. At the Middle East Golfer Awards in January, The Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge was officially recognised as the Middle East's leading corporate golf event.
