Regular Stroke Play (Net) Scores
Remembering that these records are dependent on the accuracy of handicaps at the time…
- Over 18 holes on the normal course in a stroke play competition:
From available records, 55 by Greg Barlow in 1988/89 season Consolation Cup.
Greg was once a teenager who grew up in Awali. In October 2019, Bapco financed a group of these teenagers to return to Bahrain for a nostalgia visit. Greg dropped by at the Clubhouse on Friday 25th, to reprise his previous photo shoot, more than 30 years after he set the record. - In the 36 hole Memorial Trophy competition:
Bob Bever, with 128 (66 on first day, 62 on second) in the 1992/93 season.
- Clemitson Cup – aggregate net score over best 7 qualifying rounds:
From available records with the current format (from 1966/67): Phil Morris in 1985/86, 465 / 66.43 average. Prior to 1966/67 there was a points sharing system – there are few known results for this.
