Finishing in 3rd Place was Dubai College. Dubai College had a slow start but asfter strong performances in the last two events; they found themselves in the Top-3 when the dust settled.
The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) put together a team of Emeriti Juniors who are training in the National Junior Development Program (NJPD) and on the Natinoal Team Squad. The EGF Team finished in 5th Place for this season. The NJDP and the EGF has taken big steps in junior golf and is looking forward to a strong season next year.
Moving forward, an aspect that the EGF and the Inter-Schools League are trying to develop is creating a golf platform in UAE schools. At the moment golf is not an "official" sport in schools. Golf has no part in athletics or physical educational programs. The EGF and the Inter-Schools League representatives have a goal to create awareness and show the benefits of golf for all schools. Not only is golf a sport that promotes an active lifestyle but it also teaches honesty and integrity. These fundamental characteristics are valuable for any child’s, student, or athlete’s growth.
You can expect the Inter-Schools League to be back in action come November of 2016. This league is a great example of how much golf has grown within in the region. With the continued support of the UAE Schools, UAE Golf Clubs, and EGF Partners junior golf will continue to flourish in the UAE.
