Abu Dhabi, 22 September 2025 — The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) proudly opened the new season on Saturday, 20th September, with the first UAE National Monthly Match at the spectacular Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. The event drew one of the largest fields in the competition’s history, highlighting the growing passion for golf across the Emirates.

Champions of the Season Opener

  • Senior Division – Mr. Akram Skaik, finishing strongly with 39 points
  • Mixed Division – Mr. Saif Thabit, with a fantastic total of 40 points
  • Junior Division – Master. Zayed Ali, with a standout performance with 50 points

This was the first time many UAE Nationals had the opportunity to compete at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club following its recent course redesign. Players were full of praise for the new layout, and although the weather remained a little warm, the atmosphere was one of excitement, camaraderie, and celebration of the game. The EGF extends its sincere thanks to Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and their dedicated team for their warm hospitality and to Pro Sports International for their continued support in providing the event prizes.

General Abdulla Al-Hashmi, President of the Emirates Golf Federation, commented:
“It is so inspiring to see so many Emiratis embracing the sport of golf. This is by far the largest number of players we’ve ever welcomed to a Monthly Match. I look forward to the UAE National Stroke Play Championship in October, which promises to be another milestone for our golfing community.”

 

Looking Ahead
The Emirates Golf Federation is delighted to confirm that the next Monthly Match will be hosted at Arabian Ranches Golf Club in Dubai on the 18th and 19th of October 2025. Players and supporters are encouraged to save the date and join what promises to be another fantastic celebration of competition, friendship, and the spirit of the game.
