EGF Equip National Foundation Squad

On November 27, 2016 the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) equipped 11 young Nationals with Golphin for Kids golf clubs, the latest award-winning junior golf clubs to hit the market. The National Foundation Squad was established less than 6 months ago and the EGF has seen a great deal of growth from the players not only in interest but fundamental skills as well.

Golphin for Kids’ slogan is Inspiring Next Golf’s Generation, which falls in place with the National Junior Development Program that the EGF has implanted over the past 2 years. While working with the European Tour, KHDA, UAE Golf Clubs, and other key stakeholders the EGF has been able to introduce the game of golf to thousands of Emeriti’s in the United Arab Emirates.

The 11 kids on the National Foundation Squad have gone through a year-and-a-half long process that started in Physical Education classes within the Dubai school system. Now these kids (and over 50 others) are receiving group and private lesson 3 to 4 times a week powered by Golf DXB at The Track, Meydan.
