UAE & Moroccan Golf Federations Assemble Top Players for Summer Training
(Rabat, Morocco) – Over the next two weeks the United Arab Emirates (UAE) National players will travel to Morocco for a comprehensive training camp in preparation for a busy fall schedule. 23 UAE players covering five different teams (Ladies, Men’s, 18 & Under, 15 & Under, and 13 & Under) will join forces with the Moroccan National Team players to train and compete against each other in a number of friendly matches.
The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) and the Moroccan Golf Federation will be using the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam Golf Club as the headquarters for the training camp. The teams will take full advantage of the club’s short game and practice facilities rated one of the best in the region.
In addition, Men’s Teams players Ahmad Skaik, who is ranked the 61st on the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and Abdulla Al Musharrekh will travel to Ifrane, Morocco to join the Moroccan Men’s Team for seven days of training in preparation for the 2022 World Amateur Team Championships (Eisenhower Trophy) at the La Golf National in France on August 31st – September 3rd.
“We are pushing the best out of our players and coaches, said General Abdullah Alhashmi. Over the next two weeks, we will understand how our players match up with other programs in the Arab Golf Federation. The Moroccan players have always led the way in being the top performers in Arab golf. By having this opportunity to train and compete against our Moroccan brothers and sisters we will know what is working well or needs improvement. I want to thank the Moroccan golf Federation which has welcomed the EGF with open arms. We look to continue these training camps with all Arab Federations,” General Alhashmi added.
Starting the last weekend of August with the Eisenhower trophy, until the last week of November the UAE National Golf Teams will have a busy schedule which includes the Ladies, Men’s, and Junior Pan Arab Championships in Tunisia, the Women’s and Men’s Asia-Pacific Amateur Championships in Thailand, and the Nomura Cup in the Philippines.
It is an exciting time for amateur golf and the UAE players are preparing for good results. Follow the Emirates Golf Federation on social media and at www.egfgolf.com for regular team and player updates.
