The 49th Amateur Golf Championship of Pakistan was a hotly contested event. The strikingly beautiful 72 par golf course at the Royal palm Gold and Country Club formed an idyllic backdrop for this championship, a premier event in Pakistan’s golf calendar.

The Annual Golf Presentation Ball is a lavish and formal event for members, their spouses and guests of the sponsor which will include a dinner and post ceremony disco for the attendees. The event is a chance to gather all the golfing comrades together for an evening of club spirit and friendship.

The Captains Cup tournament runs in conjunction with the Club Championship. The Club Championship being aimed at the lower handicappers, the Captains Cup accommodates all of the remaining golfers to compete in this attractive two days event.

The Club Championship Golf Tournament is traditionally the last tournament of the golfing season at Royal Palm. The golfing calendar at Royal Palm runs from the 1st May to the end of the following April. This allows the golfing events to be structured in a way that accommodates the climate of Lahore.

“Why is it that when my husband goes out to enjoy his favourite pastime, He returns five hours late in a foul and depressed mood.”

“What is it about the fix of golf that prompts the player into a lifetime of addiction?”

“What is the fascination of chasing a little white ball around and then beating it with a stick when you finally find it?”

To continue golf competitiveness during the sacred month of Ramadan the match is spread over the three Fridays of the holy month. On each Friday the participants play nine holes games and at the end of the third Friday day two best scores are counted to decide the winners in both the Gross and Net Categories. The families join in for iftar /Dinner followed by prize giving ceremony.

Following a similar format to the Singles matches, but here the players team up with a partner and compete through the stages against other team hopefuls.

Stretching over a six month period, both the Winter and Summer Singles Match Play competitions have become much talked about events at Royal Palm. The Winter event begins in October and finishes in time for the Annual Presentation Ball in April the following year. Directly following the Annual Presentation Ball, the Summer event begins in May with the final scheduled in September.
