Mohsin Zafar emerged as the top performer in the Royal Palm Golf Tournament contested over 18 holes at the Royal Palm Golf Course. In the event, golfers of talent and distinction appeared in full strength in the stroke play competition. Against tough resistance from his fellow competitors like Abbas Ali Khan, Nadeem Hassan Asif, Hussain Hamid, Shahid Abbas and Abdullah Sharif, the ultimate gross winner Mohsin Zafar proved to be a golfer of deeds.
His excellent shots made dwarfing the prowess of players who tried their best to cow him down. Off the tees, on all par 4s and 5s, Zafar never let go of his control as his shots were accuracy oriented and distance measuring. The blemishes did come here and there on the greens but then, 11 pars in a round is impressive performance and thus, fetched the player the title trophy.
Others who performed well in the event, were Abbas Ali Khan, winner of runner up slot in gross section, Zafar - a teenager, winner of net first slot with a net score of 73, and his runner up mate being Imran Miraj. Prize winners in the handicap category above 15 were Ale Imran, first gross, Naseer Akhter, 2nd gross, Kamran Butt, 1st net and Silal Ahmed, 2nd net.
Royal Palm, in their endeavour to promote sports, held this event even in the absence of a sponsor and plans to continue holding regular competitive events, not only in the golfing arena but also in cricket, football, tennis and squash. At the conclusion of the tournament, Lieutenant General Muhammad Tariq, Captain Royal Palm Golf Club awarded prizes to the winners.
