JOHN FELLINGHAM SHOOTS 70 AT 70!

Dubai Creek long standing member John Fellingham, achieved the remarkable feat of shooting a gross score of 70 (-1) at the fine age of 70, one of the games rarest achievements.

Shooting your age in golf is one of the games toughest tasks, with less than 1% of golfers managing to achieve such a challenge, but the experienced Dubai Creek Scratch Team Captain did so in sensational style, compiling a round of 70 (-1), consisting of 3 birdies on holes 8, 11 and the challenging 18th.

At 6849 yards, from the Blue Tournament Tees, Dubai Creek is well known for its challenging tee shots and tricky course design, and so this accomplishment is an impressive score to add to a golfing CV at any age.

“This one of my greatest golfing rounds and something I’ve always wanted to achieve,” said John. “I was nervous with a few holes to go, as it’s so hard thing to achieve this in golf and of course you have to be a certain age to do it. I had a 3ft putt on my final hole to finish off the round, thankfully it went in.”

“I’ve had a few rounds in the 60’s, but I was a lot younger then!” John’s handicap was 7.9 when he played this round, which meant his course handicap of 11 added up to an astounding net 59! It’s safe to say John ran away with any of the clubs competitions happening on that day.

John has been a member of the club since 1995, his best round coming in his 2013 Summer Open victory, firing a superb gross score of 67. In spite being 3 shots better, 8 years on this round of 70 certainly takes pole position in John’s most impressive rounds. Michael Major, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club Director of Golf said: “John has been knocking on the door of this achievement for some time! As Golfers, shooting your age is something we all dream of and so it’s fantastic to see John triumph in this challenge.”
