Golf has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger than anyone anticipated but what is the game in the UAE doing to ensure it doesn’t waste this unexpected participation spike?

In the latest edition we talk to five of the Middle East’s key golf industry players – panellists all at the Emirates Amateur Golf League’s recent ‘Future of Golf’ forum – to discover where the game goes from here.

There’s little doubt Golf Saudi is playing a pivotal role in the new frontier. We have a report on the new Aramco Team Series after the LET-sanctioned format made its debut in London. We also learn what the 11th hour awarding of the 2021 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship to Dubai is just the start of a golden two year period for the region’s top young players.

Talking of Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Matthew Brookes explains why random practice trumps beating driver after driver on the range and we delve into the research that will help you break 100, 90 and 80 in no time. And who better to impart his wisdom on flushing your fairway woods than the Swedish Iceman, Henrik Stenson?

All this and much more in the August 2021 edition of Golf Digest Middle East.
