EGF Presents NJDP to AMSI Schools

On May 18-20, 2015 the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) traveled to three different AMSI schools to host presentations informing local families on the National Junior Development Program (NJDP). As part of the EGF the NJDP has a goal to identify and develop young United Arab Emirates (UAE) National Golfers while building good character through the structure of the rules from the game of golf.

With the help from Academia Management Solutions International (AMSI) the EGF was able to introduce the game of golf to over 40 different Emirati families. The EGF met with School Administrators and Physical Education Teachers from the International School of Arts & Science (ISAS), Al Mawakeb School - Al Garhoud and Al Mawakeb School - Al Barsha to explain and start the process of bringing golf into schools.

The EGF enlightened families on the benefits of golf for kids from the active lifestyle, to learning etiquette & integrity, and gaining personal reasonability, all in some of the internationally renowned, safe and well supervised courses.

By having the support from The Ministry of General Authority of Youth & Sport Welfare, the UAE Government, and the UAE Golf Clubs the opportunity that these National Golfers have is invaluable.
