Emirates Golf Federation and Al Mubarakah Foundation Organize “Golf for Beginners” Event

28 Youths Experience Golf for the First Time

(Abu Dhabi – February 13, 2025) – In a collaborative effort between the Emirates Golf Federation and Al Mubarakah Foundation, the “Golf for Beginners” event was launched at Abu Dhabi City Golf Club with the participation of 28 youths trying the sport for the first time. The initiative aims to foster and increase community interest in golf while introducing participants to the athletic skills required by the game—foremost among them being high physical fitness, concentration, decisive thinking, and other character-building abilities.

 

The event was attended by Ms. Aisha Al-Saadi, Acting General Manager of Al Mubarakah Foundation.

Ms. Aisha emphasized the Foundation’s commitment to building bridges of cooperation with various stakeholders. Founded in 2016 and chaired by Dr. Sheikha Moza bint Mubarak Al Nahyan, Al Mubarakah Foundation’s vision centers on empowering youth, fostering innovation, and raising awareness. This collaboration reflects the Foundation’s objectives in youth empowerment and embodies its core values of leadership and excellence, innovation and creativity, commitment and professionalism, teamwork, transparency, and social responsibility.

Ms. Aisha also highlighted the significance of this event, which opens broad avenues for collaboration between both parties to engage young people and introduce them to the importance of golf and its role in supporting the national sports sector by nurturing skilled young talents who enrich the game and enhance its community presence.

Ms. Aisha noted that the cooperation between the two parties will extend to further initiatives in the near future. In collaboration with the Foundation, the Emirates Golf Federation plans to organize two additional training sessions for this group of youths. This step is aimed at paving the way for these promising Emirati talents to join the Future Falcons Program and begin receiving regular golf lessons at the club.

Developing Emirati youth talent is a cornerstone of the Emirates Golf Federation’s mission, as golf serves as a medium to teach proper etiquette, patience, and sportsmanship, in addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Major General Abdullah Alhashmi, Vice Chairman of the Emirates Golf Federation, stated:

“Working with government entities and community organizations is extremely important to us at the Emirates Golf Federation. Giving these young people the opportunity to learn golf at an early age will have a positive impact on their lives. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Al Mubarakah Foundation and moving forward with these initiatives.”
