Cometh the 5pm hour Wednesday, cometh the Postman.

European Ryder Cup talisman Ian Poulter is reportedly set to deliver a free online ‘coaching clinic’ to the UAE golf community at 5pm (UAE time) via his Instagram account @IanJamesPoulter in a welcome distraction from the groundswell of depressing COVID-19 news.

The 44-year-old, 12-time European Tour winner will share “his top tips for success” and is also poised to offer “expert advice to everyone who joins”, according to a media statement delivered to Golf Digest Middle East.

Intriguingly, the press statement said the “innovative digital coaching clinic” is to be the first of a “digital series” by the DP World-ambassador who hosted a special clinic for youngsters from the Emirates Golf Federation and Dubai Heights Academy at Jumeirah Golf Estates ahead of the OMEGA Dubai Desert Classic in January.

“DP World and Ian Poulter invite the UAE golfing community to join an innovative digital coaching clinic dedicated to youngsters from the Emirates Golf Federation and Dubai Heights Academy as ‘the Postman’ still delivers during the COVID-19 crisis.”
