Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship 2014

Posted by Lindsey Parry | Jan 24, 2014 | Abu Dhabi, Things to do, UAE

Last weekend we went along to the HSBC Golf Championship 2014 to see the pros in action and to try to pick up some tips.

For now, the only tip we really got was to keep practising – I’ve a long way to go before I can even dream of coming in under par let alone getting Larrazabal’s -14..! Oh well. Practice makes perfect or so they say…!

Anyway, here’s some photos from the Saturday:

fabulous – however — as a volunteer I got seconded to work with the TV crew – best friends now with McIlroy and his security guard as in one of youer pictures – Mark was with him all day Saturday – I was with him Friday with his infamous understanding of the rules whilst he did his drop shot on the second !!! Great week – spent 4 days with the film crews for World TV … hoping to do Dubai this coming weekend 🙂
Nice shots – if I could upload the one of me polishing the Trophy on Sunday I would !!!
