EMIRATES GOLF CLUB - CAPTAIN’S MESSAGE

ABDULFATTAH SHARAF

EMIRATES GOLF CLUB CAPTAIN

Dear Members,

Ihope that this edition finds you all well rested and ready to get going in 2022. Since we last spoke, I have been to visit Dubai EXPO2020 several times. If you have not been yet, please make sure that you find the time to do so. I have been fortunate to spend time there as a resident, father, banker, dinner guest and concert attendee. The set-up is simply fantastic and is a truly new dimension to the Dubai experience.

I have been honoured to have engaged with the EGC in a different way as Club Captain. As an Emirati in the year of the Nation’s 50th, I am now even more conscious of the responsibility for the experience of others, more than that of my own.

I feel very lucky to be part of this network bringing golf to our members and the community at large. The Majlis Course and Topgolf turning 1 have been real highlights in recent months. Thank you to you all for your continued engagement and support.

I look forward to seeing many of you on the greens.

Even in these complicated times, I hold a lot of hope for 2022, especially with the momentum in the country and the great turnout the 4th quarter showed us at the EGC. January offers an exciting calendar with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and the Dubai Desert Classic to look forward to. We also hope to have a date confirmed for Captain’s Day shortly.
