“It was great working with the ETPI coaches today. Their knowledge gave me good insight into the mechanics of my swing. This also gave me good direction in areas that need improvement, said UAE National Team player Rashid Hamood.

Tim Backhouse, Teaching Professional at JGE-ETPI, had this to say after the training session. “It was a pleasure to work alongside JJ and Rob on Rashid and Khalid’s golf game. We look to continue and strengthen the relationship between the ETPI and the EGF. As a team we looked to develop movements that they were capable of, with their possible physical limitations and also ‘habits’ that the player has developed over years of playing. We were able to do this by using video analysis, launch monitors, and force plates to try and maximize their ball flights and ultimately hopefully improve their scores.

With the temperatures and heat increasing the UAE National Team will be training indoors throughout the summer months. The partnership between the EGF, ETPI, and JGE will be very beneficial for the UAE National Team.
