Azaadi Cup 2016

In the 18 holes 70th Independence Day Golf Championship, 2016 contested at the Royal Palm Golf and Country Club Golf Course, the competition ended with a young one, Hussain Hamid, emerging as the winner of the Royal Palm Independence Day Golf Title, 2016. On a day when the humidity was at its sweating best, quite a few of the accomplished contenders found the going tough and as the game progressed, an element of exhaustion eroded their focus and concentration and the shot making lost its crisp touch. As a result, approach shots that should have landed on the green, found a landing ground away from the greens and in the rough portion of the fairways, the result was lost strokes and excellence lacking score cards. As for the ultimate winner, Hussain Hamid, it turned out to be an opportune moment to show that he is gaining in maturity and has the ability to match wits with the best.

Hussain’s successful efforts fetched him the honours in the shape of the Independence Day Title 2016Hussain Hamid had five regulation pars on the opening nine holes and seven pars on the back nine.Another fluent effort of his game was that he had consecutive pars on the holes 13th to 18th.
