In Pictures | Expect The Unexpected: HSBC Golf Championships

“To find a man’s true character, play golf with him.” P.G. Wodehouse

The strap line for this year’s HSBC Abu Dhabi Golf Championships, its 10th Anniversary was ‘Expect the Unexpected’ and the unexpected is definitely what happened! With four hole-in-ones, a three-time champion who had an incredible (some thought unbeatable lead on the last day) ending up in third place, a near play off to decide the overall champion and a rookie twenty-two year first time winner, Gary Stal (ranked 357 in the world) swooping in to claim victory and the coveted Falcon trophy, who knew golf could be so exciting!!

Volvo Ocean Race | Abu Dhabi

“It’s definitely going to be the tightest race in history. Success will be about not having any bad legs. You have got to have a strong team, you have got to sail fast, keep the boat in one piece, be smart and sail the right way.” IAN WALKER

Mid-December saw the crews and accompanying paraphernalia sail into the capital for the Abu Dhabi stop over of the round the world Volvo Ocean Racing (VOR) extravaganza. We were lucky enough to experience the inaugural stopover two years ago and the Coldplay concert that featured as part of the celebrations on New Years Eve, so we were keen (well I was) to pop down again to be part of this years action.
