BEATRICE GALEPPINI DUBAI CREEK LADY CAPTAIN

Dear Members, ith winter coming to an end, I have to say that after two years of the pandemic we have had a great start to the year - full of important competitions including the Men’s Open, first medal with Captain’s Drive In, Club Championship and Ladies Amateur Open.
I would like to wish a big congratulations to our fantastic ICC team, who won the second day out of three in her league against Els club and Yas Links. On the 9th of March there will be the third and last day of the league at the Yas Links and the Creek Course, which our ladies are well prepared for and are still currently in first place following these two victories.
Teeing off the new year with the Captain’s Drive In was a great honour. I must admit that the stormy weather threw me off and I was sure of hitting an air shot! Thank you for all your support for myself and Max, it is greatly appreciated.
In February we had our biggest competition of the year - the Club Championship. Congratulations to the junior Anca Mirela Matieu for winning the gross, and to our super Vice Ladies Captain Shiba Wahid for winning the net and for her outstanding first day. On the third week of February the Club hosted the Ladies Amateur Open and I am very proud to announce that the winner was our young junior Hannah Alan! A long-time member here and daughter of our Ex-Ladies Captain, Glory Xavier. Hannah shot an incredible 69 gross and went to the play off to secure the win. Congratulations to her mum for winning the net in the same day. With such a great start to the year, I am hoping for a continued year of success like these first two months and am looking forward to celebrating during the Member’s Party. Beatrice Galeppini Lady Captain
