National Junior Golf Hits UAE’s Northern Emirates Golf Clubs
(Ras al-Khaimah, UAE) - The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) in conjunction with the Ministry of Education are providing United Arab Emirates (UAE) National students the opportunity to try and learn golf at three different Northern Emirates golf clubs. Starting this week, six different Ministry of Education National Schools were introduced to the game of golf to kick off a four-week grassroots program that will lead over 400 students towards the National Junior Development Program and UAE National Golf Teams.
Al Zorah Golf Club, Tower Links Golf Club, and Al Hamra Golf Club will all be hosting over 50 kids a week for the next four weeks in a goal to identify and develop young National golfers while building good character through the structure of rules from the game of golf.
“Students will be transported directly from schools to the golf clubs during their Physical Education classes. Instead of playing the same sports [Football, Basketball, Rugby] the students will have the opportunity to try and play golf at the golf club,” said Khalid Mubarak Al Shamsi the Secretary General for the Emirates Golf Federation.
