Riyadh Golf Club welcomed Sir Steve Redgrave to Saudi Arabia last month while the Olympic legend was in the Kingdom. One of the most famous athletes in Olympic history, having won an unprecedented five rowing gold medals in five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000. After several top-level business meetings in the capital, Sir Steve swung by to play a round at Riyadh Golf Club and passed on some of his own sporting knowledge to the Golf Saudi team. Sir Steve is a global personality and businessman who shares his unique expertise and experience and the Golf Saudi team learnt a lot from his extensive understanding of both sport and commercial enterprise.
