A new concept in golf, the first of its kind in the UAE, the Range Golf League, is set to be introduced to the country with its first event at Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club on Saturday, February 19.

“In these days of inclusion and innovation we are excited with this Range Golf League’ and believe this has both an operational and sustainable model, but as with all such projects it is all about being driven by popularity and engagement by the players. We hope all the invited players have fun later this month,’ concluded Prof. Matin.

The pre-launch event was held at Ramada, Downtown Dubai. Sheikh Dr Obaid Bin Suhail Al Maktoum was the Chief Guest and Laila Rahhal El Atfani was Guest of Honor.

Prominent among those who present on the occasion were Mohammad Alam Shah, Waahiid Ali Khan, Arman Khan, Syed Nadeem Zaidi, Maya Tarraf, Irfan Izhar and Owen SP Sanchez.
