Prior to the 2006 – 2007 season the Scratch League was organized by the U.G.A., however at the first UGA Tournament Committee meeting of that season Adrian Flaherty, General Manager of the U.G.A. at the time announced that the league would not operate in future due to “the inability (of the U.G.A.) to secure dates at the weekends at all participating venues”.
After this meeting a letter was sent to all clubs seeking support for an Invitational Golf Scratch League, with complimentary tee times being made available to hold the league. Confirmation was received from all invited clubs and the league commenced on the 27th January 2007 with the following clubs participating:
Tower Links RAK, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Nad Al Sheba, Dubai Country Club/Sharjah Wanderers combined, Arabian Ranches, The Montgomerie, Al Ghazal and Abu Dhabi by Sheraton.
The semi finals were played on The Faldo Course on the 8th June 2007, with Arabian Ranches beating the Creek 3 matches to 1, and Abu Dhabi defeating DCC/SWGC by the same margin.
The final took place the next day on the Majlis Course with the Arabian Ranches being victorious after a play off between Johann Wasserman & John Mills (ARGC) and Alex Charawani & Alistair Crombie (ADGC) which was won by the ARGC pairing on the first hole with a conceded par.
