DIRECTOR OF GOLF’S MESSAGE

STEPHEN HUBNER

JUMEIRAH GOLF ESTATES DIRECTOR OF GOLF

Dear All,

I trust that you are keeping well and continuing to enjoy your golf here at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Iwould like to thank all of our members who attended the inaugural Golf Members’ Party at the end of March. It certainly was a very special night and we have been delighted to receive a great deal of wonderful feedback from those in attendance. For those of you who did not manage to attend, I’m sure you have heard from your fellow members what a great event it was and will be sure to reserve your calendar early for next year’s party. A special congratulations to Jonathan Wheeler who won the Viya Target Golf activation after making an incredible hole-in-one from the clubhouse terrace to the Earth 18th to collect the prize of 10,000 Viya points!

PORTUGAL TRIP

We have received a wonderful response from the membership for the upcoming golf holiday to Portugal. Myself and our golf pro from the Peter Cowen Academy, Jackson Bell, will accompany a group of 24 lovely members on this inaugural trip which moving forward will become one of the key events in the Club’s annual calendar.

We will be staying at the stunning Ritz Carlton Penha Longa Resort on the outskirts of Lisbon and enjoying some of the finest courses Portugal has to offer; Oitavos Dunes, West Cliffs and the Championship course at Penha Longa.

In addition to our main annual golf trip, we will be hosting some other shorter golf vacations closer to home. The first of these will be to Almouj Golf Club in Muscat, Oman later in the year with the details being announced soon.

Golf in Muscat is a true pleasure and I highly recommend you join us for this one.

The MCC was started in early 2021 and has provided a wonderful platform for Members to share feedback and ideas with the management team to facilitate positive change at the Club. In the past 12 months over 80 points raised by the committee have been actioned which is helping us to grow. I would like to thank our original MCC

Members (pictured below) who have kindly donated their time and expertise so that we can continue to improve the products and services of this special place that we all love. I am looking forward to working with the new committee in the months ahead. Members Consultative Committee

FAREWELL KEKE!

Over the last two years we have been extremely fortunate to have the lovely Anneke Strobach as part of our team at the Peter Cowen Academy. Keke has done an amazing job with our Get into Golf beginner programme and also with our junior and ladies’ sections. Sadly for us, Keke will shortly be leaving to take on a new challenge in the U.S. We wish her all the very best in her exciting next step and of course she will always be most welcome at Jumeirah Golf Estates. Thank you Keke and good luck! It’s now that time of year when the weather heats up and golf becomes even more challenging. Make sure you play most of your golf early

Dear Members, or late, drink plenty of water, and replenish your salts. Steff and the Tournaments Team will still be running You can contact the Members Consultative Committee in person, by leaving a sealed letter at reception or through the Members’s Zone of the website. an exciting competition schedule all the way through summer for you to enjoy and I hope that you will take part and enjoy the company of your fellow members.
