GEC NEWS WIRENature intermingled in Oman with the vision of GEC Open and gave ‘GOLF’ a different gist altogether
‘Beauty has an address— Oman.’
As GEC Open 2015 travelled to Oman a good number of billboards put up this slogan. By the end of the day as the sun set in the blue waters of the Almouj Golf course, Golf and Networking had an address—Oman.
One cannot help but be poetic to describe the GEC Open 2015 Oman edition. After the successful stints in UAE, Turkey and Bahrain, GEC Open 2015 flagged off in Oman on 19th November with over 45 players battling it out on the amazing turfs of Almouj the Wave golf course in Muscat. The beautiful weather, the unparalleled golf course, and the warmth of the people just added to the fervour of the event. International golfing legend Greg Norman is responsible for the magnificent design of the 18 hole, par 72 championship golf course at Almouj Golf, with 36 golf projects currently in progress worldwide.
Nasaruddin Mohamad, Engineer of Oxy took away the winning title and is all set to carry his skills to Dubai for the finals along with the runners up.
While going closer to several countries, the GEC journey also aspires to take humanity closer to business. In this vision, Dubai Autism Centre, UAE Red Crescent Authority and KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences) have joined hands by associating with the initiative. DAC, KISS and UAE Red Crescent are the official charity partners for the 2015 GEC Open. Every time a player gets on the golf course, many children and many lives are empowered, nourished and educated. As the GEC flag is hoisted in seven countries, the wish is to build a bridge, bring in the best practices, share success stories and explore the benchmarks and path breaking projects that have been defining these countries and share it with the other counterparts— ECMEA understands it as its true corporate and social responsibility.
